Night in Sulam Town

Inspired by a midnight session of listening to recordings of people being caught. The sobbing voice of a certain reverse-Tiao cultist was so captivating that I couldn't resist imagining this little story.

A worn-out old trope about a little noble with Stockholm syndrome who meets a ruthless female hunter.

Fear gives rise to warped obedience, to dark feelings, to an irresistible attachment, to uncontrollable longing.

Revenge gives rise to an urgent desire to conquer, to dark courage, to a mask worn in the sunlight, to the desolation of losing oneself.
