The Lord bangs his empty flagon onto the table.
“More wine wench!”

A prepubescent girl pours red liquid from a jug. Her eyes scanning the table for empty plates and dishes. An excuse to retrieve more food from the kitchen.
This is my entry to @jayna’s 50 Word Short Story Challenge.

Great story, @gaby-crb. The juxtaposition of the powerful feast and the hungry waif is really powerful. Well done!
