#ZapFic contest: tell me a tale in 240 characters or less (results of last week, and new prompt)

I have always wondered how to tell a story in only so many characters....
I am going to give it a go ;)

"Get out of the way!' the rider shouted. It helped him sleep at night. Stopping was not an option. He had a family to feed.

So he hardened his heart as the idiot peasants threw themselves before the carriage in desperation for food.

- Carriage -

Twops clop about cobblestones, the ricket moans from an old carriage. Chattering leaks outside from inside the boxcar.

"But mama, do we?"

"Yes dearie. Now mask up and raber the sword. Remember the plan?"

"Kill, loot, run!~"

"Atta girl!"

Thanks @felt.buzz and Congratulations to the winners!
I have a question. If I put the title above my story, is the title included in the 240 characters?
Here is mine: https://steemit.com/zapfic/@whatisnew/zapfic-writing-contest-weeke-52-the-old-mare

No, as long as it is clear the title is separate, I don't count it, just the story. Thanks for your entry!
