A Memory of Tides




A Celtorian accordionist is commissioned by a noble, fails to present work due to inebriation, and is denied pay.


WHEN THE DEPTHS OF SEA


Due to this, the accordionist kills this noble with a broken wine glass.


COME ALIVE IN A MOTION


The accordionist is jailed in an otherwise empty wing of the hell at the peak of one of the taller spires, on the ledge of a cliff overlooking the ocean.


STRONGLY SHAKES THE LAND


He discovers that there is an accordion on a chain beyond his reach.


AND THE SKY FROM THE OCEAN


The wind swings it to him.


WATERS BELOW


It takes two years.


FOAM AND ROAR, AND BELLOW.


He attempts to bash his head in and nearly succeeds when he discovers that it is non-functional.


WHAT SHALL WE DO


He is, however, restrained by guards.


WITH OUR HEARTS SO MELLOW?


It is in this interaction that he says his first and only words in this hell;


FEEL NO DESPAIR,


"Can I name it?"


MY FRIENDS! TOMORROW,


He begins hallucinating after this point, imagining that the accordion is playing long after he loses the will to pretend he can.
