This is a bit of an oddity, and as such it's difficult to know what to say about it, beyond that it has a lovely authenticity and quirky tone to it that makes it fun to read. Is it part of some greater mythology that you're thinking about, or just an experiment? WAY behind on my commenting – if not my reading.

I was going to go all "ancient Egyptian gods" but I like this much better. A lovely simulation of an ancient civilization's prayer to some terrifying god, with just the hint of satire.
