Best Left Buried
For the "Bloody Stupid Johnson" challenge at the discworld100 community on LJ
Verence had discovered something in the castle gardens. It had been covered in ivy, half buried in the ground and had the look of something that had been very firmly forgotten.
He'd had it excavated and cleaned up and was now trying to figure out what it was actually for. It was turning out to be quite a puzzle.
"Look here, it's got a name on this plate," said Magrat. "B…S… Johnson," she read out.
Everyone took a cautious step back.
"Ah." Pause. "Er. Shaun?" called Verence, eyeing the Johnson creation.
"Yessir?"
"Just bury this thing again would you? Carefully."
