Flash Fiction February 2026 Day Seven: Law And Order (Kit)

 Flash Fiction February 2026 Prompt: Order (a character moves into a place with an unusually long list of rules)
For all the noise and frenetic movement of Vivec City I never would have expected there to be so many rules. I suppose that is what happens when you have an entire group of specialized guards devoted to maintaining order. Is that why they are called Ordinators? They look rather menacing with their heavy metal helmets and armor, not the type of people I’d want to get on the bad side of. Though it’s only a matter of time until I will inevitably end up on their bad side if previous experience counts for anything. I’ve never been the best when it comes to following rules and order. In many ways I’m the very opposite to order, after all to have order there needs to be chaos. Looking at the unusually long list of rules that are displayed at the entrance to the foreign quarter I briefly look over them, noting the potential fines and punishments that may be incurred as a result, and walk right past them on my way towards the next bridge. I have a new place to explore and people to meet, rules be damned.
