Death Bed- the Bed that eats people

Chapter 2 Just A Walk Around Town
Taking a stroll around Tashbaan is never easy. Not only due to the large crowds of angry old women who exist only to poke my characters with baskets. But because one is always being attacked by sales people. And if you gave into one, the rest would swarm you.
But one paper boy caught the eye of a young servant girl. And no, this is not a romance. What I should say is that a newspaper caught the eye of a young servant girl. Being blessed with that gift that is literacy, she read the headline. "Disappearances Plague Rich Antique Zealots" Giving into curiosity, she bought a paper and was surrounded by greasy old men selling fish.
After she returned back to the house, she was stuck on cleaning duty, and also got stuck in the privy. This was not a fun day. When she actually got away to read the paper it went something like this.
"It appears that a number of the rich men in this country seem to be vanishing. It all started in last month, with the disappearance of secret agent Ghatsa and a servant of his. There has been three more vanishing since then. The only connection between these honorable men, is their love for ugly foreign furniture."
And then she was called into the house to prepare supper. While cleaning a dirty pan, she gossiped about the current events with the other girls. They all had a good laugh about the newspaper. They wonder who would attack rich men, just because he bought ugly furniture that should have been thrown into the furnace.
Just about then, one of the youngest servants broke down because she was afraid that someone would come here and kill everyone. Some of the not so nice girls derided her. But the young girl who had bought the paper comforted the girl. She asked why anyone would kill servants in thus house. The little girl responded that everyone thought that the furniture was ugly. Everyone got laughs at that one, even the little servant, and the angry old colored woman holding a wooden spoon about to yell at them for slacking.
If this was an actual horror movie form the 1950's; this is the part where you would see spinning newspapers with big black bold headlines like "Another Rich Fellow Gone" and "More Vanishing in the City." I, however, am relatively sure that this is an online story and not movie, but you get my point I'm sure.
So, without further ado…
Suddenly, you see newspapers, many, many newspapers. The come in at you, spinning fast while corny music is playing. The stop, conveniently, right up so you can read them. They have titles like, "Another Rich Fellow Gone" and "More Vanishing in the City." Yes, totally unexpected, I know.
Just a few days later, a faun named Tummus had tagged along on a trip to Tashbaan with Queen Susan, King Edmund, and Price Corin. Tummus hated the city, every stone of it. The real reason that he went was to find a birthday present for his best of friends, Queen Lucy. Tummus was having trouble finding a good gift in the city, which was mostly full of greasy old men selling fish.
But one item caught his eye. It was a bed being sold outside a very large house. Tummus, having some money on him, decided it was the perfect gift for Lucy, though he was sure why. It took some bargaining, but Tummus was rather gifted in that field, and secured the bed. He then saw to it that the bed was sent back to the castle, and thought no more of it. Little did he know what forces were taking shape.
There's chapter two. Please stay tuned for chapter three, where some major secrets are revealed (I hope). Same hour, same channel, same- wait, sorry, I keep getting stuck in my fantasy as a movie maker. Please use that little link to review!
