AMOR FATI: A Pinocchio retelling - Chapter 2: The Howling Cage (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1507960344-amor-fati-a-pinocchio-retelling-chapter-2-the?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=Kyrie_Rivers The demiurge of death sealed a fivefold promise to the universe in the hopes of being freed of their fate. Because of that, Pinocchio’s fate is placed in the hands of destruction incarnate, bending and breaking to its merciless will so that he can fulfill the demiurge’s promise. Burdened with a celestial responsibility, Pinocchio learns more about the world with each encounter, coloring his universe with a rainbow of experiences. In his quest for knowledge, he learns more and more about the wonderful things immanent in the human condition, including every shade of heavenly love paired with their grotesque shadows. With the weight of a bloodthirsty world on their clockwork heart, who will the doll place his faith in? See how Pinocchio’s path to becoming human is a path composed of cruel thorns and bittersweet roses. -x-x-x-x-x- I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com https://www.royalroad.com/profile/605174/fictions kyrierivers7@gmail.com
