DEATHLESS.

the following prompts were taken from the novel deathless by catherynne m. valente, an american novelist & poet. the novel was loosely based on the tale of koschei the deathless, incorporating other elements of russian mythology, & setting it against the backdrop of the russian revolution. feel free to change the pronouns / prompts as you see fit, but be warned – below the cut, it’s quite long !

  • ❛ go. run. don’t look behind you. ❜
  • ❛ i have come for the girl in the window. ❜
  • ❛ i will never be without information. ❜
  • ❛ i will see him with his skin off before i fall in love. ❜
  • ❛ if the world is divided into seeing & not seeing, i will always choose to see. ❜
  • ❛ secrets are jealous things, permitting no fraternization. ❜
  • ❛ no, it’s not like that, when magic comes. ❜
  • ❛ magic does that. it wastes you away. once it grips you by the ear, the world gets quieter & quieter until you can hardly hear it at all. ❜
  • ❛ the sight of it bruised my heart so that i cannot think about anything else. ❜
  • ❛ i’ll be so quiet, i’ll never talk again. ❜
  • ❛ keep me & obey me, for i am your husband, & i can destroy you. ❜
  • ❛ i shall be clever, & i shall not let him go. ❜

Such is the result of tragedies. The ending is not ofdesired result. Shame.” Sorrow can ring within thisbroken church-heart of broken bones and reeking death,but he shall not sing it’s garbled bells. “It is what happens.And we must live with it.”

Decipher me Shakespearean instead.” There is a rumbleof laughter. Wicked and far from amused. Head tilted right,neck cracking. A creak of age -- mausoleum-esque: ancient.“And what audacity has brought you to me this time, cowboy -- ?

Day ten. Trial twenty.

Hell. Hell. Idiotic question and hell

Do you feel, Gabriel -- ? Yes or no -- ?

“Y- Ye-” too dead to speak, not dead enough to not understand. Smarter than them. Sandpaper throat and blood flecks. Fuckers. A nod. That is all. Tired eyes, red, soft- they peer up through the hazed glass helplessly.

A picture of JJ. ( don’t touch him. )

And who is this?

“Son.” Better. Better than yesterday. A craving for the day screams could become yours again. Yet. Yet. Your voice will not be what it used to be. It is forever the broken note of once dulcet song - painful.

Can you stand -- ? Please -- ?

The heavy weight of a supposedly dead body hurts. But that does not remain for long. Adrift, a wispy thing of fog and nanite. Circling akin to a vulture caged against it’s will. You do not stand You wraith. You float. You THROW into their face just what they have done. “No.”

That is fine, Gabriel.

         Two bodies pulled from  their graves are laid out, held up with will && unnatural co- nditions — a chilling sight of supernatural proportions. th- e ghoul is a sight, anatomy seemingly normal upon a s- imple glance — if one were  to focus upon his body, they would begin to see the sligh- t differences that make him unnerving in his own right. Arms too long, almost reac- hing his knees, horrendous claws adorning his marred hands — just enough to w- here the mind SCREAMS out. Yells of  something’s not right  filling a person’s mind.           He is not here to sh- ow the horrors of his body, he is here to speak to the other corpse. A man who’s name is merely REAPER, a little bit on the nose — but no worries.  “ Hello, darling. “

Not right is something to describe them both. Not right, is something muttered by the very men and women who came to see the wraith that had been borne of wicked intention and of misuse. They had done him plenty wrong. Oh, indeed. He withheld a thousand witnesses within. They whispered and they snarled-- sneered and ROARED where he stood silent. Yet, he finds the comfort in another corpse so odd and inhuman like him. However, he is more nanite and smoke compared to the other.

Hello. I do hope I am not wasting your time -- ?Lazarus is the ever polite being.
