This was good! That's how I thought Kingsley would respond to the first day of being a Minister. He'd be overwhelmed with all the demands and would just want to have a little peace and quiet. I love how we were brought into his thoughts and we could feel his weariness already, even though he had just begun. Good job! :)

I'm really glad you liked it!

I've always wondered how he'd felt taking up such a post. He seemed more warrior than politician, I see the bureaucracy tiring him out very quickly.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad it was something to what you wanted =)

Fantastic little ficlet! This paragraph:

They'd watched their government turn into a crooked black market business and said little as long as it maintained the facade of peace. They'd resisted and ignored all the warning signs- even the dead bodies. They huddled in their homes and wished the evil away as their children were tortured and broken in classrooms

is especially wonderful.

Thank you!
Glad you liked it. It's a wonder The Order lasted as long as they did. Imagine fighting for such people everyday. I can't imagine dealing with them after the war (considering they weren't much better after the first one).

Thanks again for the feedback =)
