One more short short.
War
"How long before they reach the castle?"
"Our army will probably be able to hold them off for an hour at the most."
"And the secret passageway out of the city?"
"It was never finished, your highness."
"Well then," said the king. "I'm off to sleep."
"Sleep?"
"I always wanted to die in my sleep."The End

hehe, i like your king - he had A-ti-tude!
Heh. Funny story, and (I hope this doesn't sound weird) kinda cute.
Giving up so easily, what a king! on the other hand a king who doesnt even know that the secret passage was never finished sounds so much like some of our politicians.
ha..nice! but I initially interpreted the punchline as 'always wanted to die in my dreams', and i like it better that way :)
