Transcript:

Alecto the Ninth, ACT ONE

HARROW IN HELL

CHAPTER 1

At a point in the slit she was carving through life, Harrowhark Nonagesimus woke to find herself lost in a dark wound. She had been walking when it had all gone black– any path ahead or behind was blotted out; now she was here. 

A sword was laid upon her from shoulder to hip. Her feet were bare. Upon her chest, straddling the sword, there was an open magazine. The first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was a pair of tits. 

(from the author: And I bet you can’t wait to find out what happens next.)

1. alecto the ninth, act 1, harrow in hell, chapter 1 - tamsyn muir

2. divina commedia, inferno, canto 1 - dante alighieri (transl. mandelbaum, longfellow)

the first part of the alecto excerpt that tamsyn read yesterday for torcon is, imo, a clear reference to the opening lines of dante’s divine comedy

gideonisms:

where was she recording that, the locked tomb itself?? she brought a lantern ready to go spelunking
