1-Line Wednesday | April 24
As the sole vizier to the sultan, Iago had been assigned aides. They could collect information and send messages as needed.
As he entered the room that would serve as his base of operations in his role, he noticed a large red bird on his desk, inside of a cage. It looked around the room, squawking in a shrill voice.
“Why is this animal on my desk?” he demanded to know.
“It was a gift from the sultan. It’s a parrot.”
Iago walked closer. Most of the feathers on its body were red, it had a blue tail, and its wings seemed to blend seamlessly from red to yellow and then to blue, in a dazzling display of colors.
Iago has been given a new role and he finds himself inundated with work and a strange pet. With a number of urgent tasks, what will be his first role as vizier? Find out in The Isolated Vizier.
