“What about comas?”
“Comas are caused by head trauma. Very damaging, causing memory loss, personality changes, even death,” Merlin said, shuddering at the question.
Memories of bandits getting past Arthur’s defences. Head bloodied, it was a long few days before Arthur was able to get up. He was muddled for weeks after.
But that was centuries ago.
Merlin shook himself free, blinking down as his student asked, “Sir, so sentence structure causes death? Isn’t that bad?”
He’d misheard young John. “Ah, commas. Yes, sometimes commas are very traumatic. Take the Oxford comma, for example…”
And tried to forget the past.
