i: night market

hello. my name is asher lyall, and i am a proud member of a group called the mountebank club.

now, i could explain what we're all about. i think i'll give an example instead.

mountebank club vice president adam weiss led the meeting last night. he had given us a prompt to write about. just one word: "control."

this is what i wrote:
"if we had control
over our own minds,
we would shudder
at what we'd find."

they mocked the poem drunkenly. it had nothing to do with my artistry and everything to do with tradition.

(well. i hope so, anyways.)

this was after we closed shop, mind you. we were very productive when it came to providing goods to those who could pay. for example, i sold a timberwolf named nico rossi a rifle.

i wonder what he needed it for.

ah, well. none of my business, really.

yours falsely,

asher lyall
