Day Eight Dan Albergotti
The lord is embarrassed. He realizes only now that he will have to inhabit the world he has made. He will be made to endure the praises of the thinking creatures and the indifference of the beautiful ones. It’s going to be hell. It’s going to be day after day after day of regret and chagrin. And he wishes he had not made the son a sacrificial lamb. He wishes he had not made the daughter’s hair auburn. He wishes he had not left so many questions. He almost wants to apologize for the mosquito. It’s only morning, but it already feels like a long day. He’s already thinking about the rain. |
