Reading Notes: King Arthur A

I think i might be able to make this one into another comedy. Could be a first person narrative.  Going to be tricky to pull off without making it too kitchy. Also doesn't quite fit with my theme of suburban stories. May rethink this.

Arthur clearly doesn't intend to be king. Kinda occurs  by happenstance for him.
Pulling the sword from the hand in the water is also extremely odd. He's promised some mermaid woman a favor in exchange for this fancy sword the whole deal is shady.
I might also be able to play off merlin getting buried under a rock as a strange coincidental thing especially as he knew it was coming and willingly went to his death. It's all a weird turn of events.
Another odd happening: a guy is killed in his sleep by a mystery dagger while holding a super fancy candlestick.
