Atarah’s Crown
There I am. Motionless. I make a pretty corpse. There goes my agent standing over me crying. I wonder if they are crying because I’m dead or because I can’t make them anymore money. The sirens. They can’t save me. Was all of this worth selling my soul for? There are no concepts of temperature for where I stand but some how behind me I can feel a fire making my soul sweat; and the tapping on my shoulder in the form of a hoof. Do I pray for reincarnation or am I damned for all eternity; or am I even allowed to pray at all after all I have done.
