LETTER–To Q. Horatius Flaccus

by LovelyMay — Letter to Q. Horatius Flaccus begins with a quiet, searching tone, reflecting on whether the poet, in whatever place death may have led him, still enjoys the charm of country walks and city wit. The question is gentle, almost rhetorical, asking not for doctrine but for imagination. What becomes of the mind so deeply tuned to beauty, friendship, and moderation? The letter doesn’t aim to solve the mystery of the afterlife—it accepts the uncertainty. Unlike Virgil’s bold journeys into shadowy realms,…

Chapter XII — The witch and other Stories

by LovelyMay — Chapter XII opens with a sharp tension between discomfort and contemplation, set in the stifling quarters of a passenger ship crossing the open sea. Gusev, wrapped in heavy cloth to ward off a chill that seems to come from inside him rather than the air, lies quietly among the others. The heat has pressed down for days, thick and unmoving, yet it is not the temperature that unsettles most—it is the silence that follows a fellow soldier’s sudden collapse during a card game.

ACT I — Ivanoff

by LovelyMay — ACT I - Ivanoff begins beneath the slow-burning light of evening, where silence stretches over the estate like a veil, broken only by the voices of those tangled in their own unspoken battles. Ivanoff, once spirited and impassioned, now finds himself hollowed out by a restlessness he cannot name. His disconnection from Anna, once deeply loved, reveals itself not through cruelty but through absence—he avoids her presence as if proximity exposes the guilt he no longer wants to confront. Anna, weakened by…

One Way In

by LovelyMay — One Way In opens with a surreal drift into the afterlife, not with fire or golden gates, but with Samuel Carter stepping through a green baize door into what resembles an upscale government office. The space is orderly and slightly dull, lacking the grandeur or terror one might expect. Carter, neither startled nor overly curious, treats the scene with polite detachment, as if checking into a club. The room’s only real feature is a large table where Rhadamanthus—the mythic judge of the dead—sits with…
