Zapfic50 Monday - The Coup
This post is my entry to the ZapficMonday writing contest for this week - the prompt is CLIQUE.
Enjoy !

Secretary Simmonds sipped his water.
Minister Garfield was making notes.
Air Force Commander Horitz sat back lazily.
Three army colonels watched attentively.
General Kallnus smiled a wolfish grin. His clique was small, but he had the right people in exactly the right places to take down the soft, incompetent government.
For any of my friends (or anyone else, for that matter !) who reads this and fancies giving it a try, it's really fun and thought provoking. The rules are really simple;
- The Freewriters Community has a Zapfic post with a writing prompt every Monday
- Your response must be posted within 3 days in the Freewriters Community.
- Please post a link to your entry in the comments section of the prompt post
- Please use #freewritehouse and #zapfic tags.
- The important one - YOU MUST use a word/character counter (if you search for word counter on the internet or in your phone's app store you will get a big choice!) wordcounter.net and include a screenshot. Entries without a screenshot will NOT be valid.
- Please use the prompt provided as you see fit (use your imagination)
- Try to tell a complete story if you can!
- The story should be EXACTLY 50 words long.

That was a tight short story man
I thought General Kallnus gives off a "I’ve been waiting for this moment" vibes.😂. The way you wrote it, I kinda wish it was a series
Thank you ! I might have to write some more with him in, he's a character I've had for ages now, but usually somewhere in the background rather than as the focus of a story.
!BBH
a great character I'll admit, very great
Your story is really cool and unique. It feels like it should be a war series, haha 😅.
