《The First Corridor of Old Works》Chapter 171: Just Projecting Nasty Atmospheres and Malaise

“But why aren't you – a demon? This is a planet of demons – and you're clearly not. Even more than me. Where did you come from. Actually – who are you -”
“The Golden Bow -”
“Just another title -”
“Not technically a title but –”
“Who? – Are you?”
He stopped. And he sighed. And he looked around.
“You're interested how I got here? Who I am? Why I'm not a demon? And why I know the things that... I know? Not just concerning this place and others; this is the general schema we're operating within?”
The basics. “Who?”
“I can see you'd like to know.” He stopped again, but it was a pause that was preparatory – he thought he might actually tell him who he was.
“The Golden Bow –”
“Who -”
“Yes, let me – I'm the Golden Bow – I'm – well this is exactly what I wish to tell you; what I was trying to; you see – you're rather larger than me, but that's momentarily unimportant – what I'm trying to communicate to you is that – where we are – I'm afraid, why, or for what final or ultimate, reason, or even – how. – I can't help you, but we are here for that. We're here, I'm afraid, on this planet of demons, to, as you describe it – because yes, it's a planet of demons; but it's actually not for that... this place is for finding out exactly who you are so you can understand why – and this is why I'm not immediately answering you're question why despite my retaining the aforementioned personal emphasis upon courtesy, especially here – of remaining a being/personage/person/character/person/human being of course who prizes this above nearly all other virtues – despite that, which I am saying, and saying nothing in regards to the finality of your question over here, I can't, on this planet whose purpose is to find out who you are because its inevitable/unavoidable ontological purpose, in itself and of course, prevents this for all of the unfortunates – who aren't demons, of course, demons can speak for themselves – if they have tongues at all or they haven't degenerated into degeneracy sufficiently to still be capable of telepathic communication beside just projecting nasty atmospheres and malaise; what I'm saying, and I'm sorry, Your Good Majesty in Corridors – but you see there is no alternative, and the whole planet, but specifically these demon dungeons, these mazey kingdoms of Cyclops, these things, this is exactly what this place is about and for – it's for finding out who you are, old chum – that's exactly and unavoidably what it's for – it's ontology – because despite – teleology – harbouring a quasi-title, I don't. know. either.”

“Who you are?”
“I don't know either – you see that dungeon – it's who you are, it's who we both – are – and it's, I'm afraid, where we're going.”

Little Death
Not quite immortal, but certainly not human, Tabitha and Sam blended in for years as a seemingly normal couple-- hitting the bars together, scraping out a living on the edge of society, never revealing that the violent ends of their human lives had rebirthed them as Mara--a succubus and an incubus. But when a mutual mistake brings down punishment upon them, forcing them to separate, each loses the only thing that matters--their lover, partner, and soul mate. Tabitha, determined to placate the entities who control her fate, takes to the streets of New York City to find a long-lost relic she hopes will win their favor; by night, she pursues the dreamers who welcome her into their beds and, sometimes, their wallets. Sam, despondent and struggling, escapes deeper and deeper into a relationship with a human woman enchanted with him--and one that could risk all he has left. Until a single encounter changes everything, and he will have Tabitha back no matter what the cost.

Parallels
Parallels are a constant in life. Our friends' lives often run parallel to ours; we share similar experiences or tastes- perhaps even both. Sometimes, however, opposites attract- and our lives run perpendicular. In that case, we are not attracted by similarities; rather, we are attracted to the differences in others. So, what happens when two parallels are broken apart? What might happen to them? Are they forever doomed to run alongside each other, never seeing one another, never meeting? Or, perhaps, might they be spun about? Could these lines that formerly ran alongside one another meet? Could they possibly be set perpendicular? Any feedback is welcome, so long as it is constructive. Also, you may not use any characters, ideas, places, or what have you that I present here without my explicit permission. A note: This is a story which I began over a year ago, but never got around to finishing- it feels about time to really get it going. Now, there are a couple of things about the story, and myself, that need to be said. First and foremost, there's a slow start, but by the third-fourth chapter things should be speeding up a bit. Secondly, in regards to release speed and/or word count per chapter, I make no promises- my schedule is fairly random, and in regards to word count, I will cut off any chapter at any point that feels appropriate to me- that may include cliffhangers, if necessary. I'm not trying to reach a specific word count, I am trying to create a cohesive story, with pseudo-appropriate chapter breaks. This means I will also not rush a half-baked release for the sake of getting a release out. Thirdly, I will make any edits, anywhere in the story and at any time, that strike me as necessary- typically being wording and/or formatting changes, but I may also decide to change major plot points- in that case I would put a notification in the next chapter released. Finally, and most importantly, I am a Christian; this story is intended to at least moderately reflect those values. So, if you particularly dislike any of these things, feel free to look elsewhere, and don't let the door hit you on the way out. God bless, friends.
