anonymous, Featured Image: Kaleidoscope Ruth Grade 12 The fall to Tartarus takes nine days… apparently. I do wonder whether this is accurate. It’s more likely there’s some form of an equation that would have to factor in mass and surface area. In the myths, Hesiod dropped an anvil. The anvil took nine days to fallContinueContinue reading “bottomless”

Whispering things soContinueContinue reading “Whispers”
