"Your name Sir?"
"My name?"
"Yes, we need it for the record."
"What record?"
"As a witness."
"Is that necessary?"
He looked up from the computer screen and adjusted his spectacles.
"Yes...you reported a robbery and -"
"Oh, Okay. It's Charles Herhiozyknmertgylson."
"Uh...can you spell it."
"Yes I can."
He took a deep breath and frowned.
"I mean...it's an unusual name and -"
"Not that unusual. His Royal Highness, the King, has the same name."
"No... the... look, please spell it for me so I can complete the formalities."
"Okay. C-H-A-R-L-E-S."
Alternative Tales is...just that. Tales that are out of the ordinary, random and unorthodox. Tales in fact that do NOT need to be written. They are just written because they... might have occurred.
