Passersby could not help but notice the rusted chain and padlock on the loft window of the tower, but they never let on, following the unspoken town rule of silence while passing.
When visitors came to town, the locals were swift to scurry them past, lest they disturb the fiend that resided behind the faded blue shutters by asking too loudly about the chains.
It was such a sad story, you see, because the only way they could save themselves from the cruel edicts of the terrible dictator was to lock him away with cable tv, fast food and a phone for tweeting.

Oh yes, yes, yes! I love it. Very clever. Sad that you can write it so easily, but if we don’t laugh at the situation, what else can we do?

I’ve got the chain and padlock. All you need to do is get him into the loft!

That is one way of doing it. Pity we couldn’t do it for some in real life.
