He's a seer. A magus, practised in arcane rites the runic grimoire, 'forbidden numbers' imprisons. All of the chthonic gods shriek in terror that the hex circulus may be invoked.
Abhorrent beast Pi, cackling, croaking, rise. A brilliant madness, a divine infection; the ur-decimal, gathering our howling souls.
A world consumed in reverence, mankind dies murmuring each vile digit.
FFM day 5.
Each of these words contains a number of letters corresponding to the digits in pi.
The challenge was to do this and also include 5 onomatopoeic words while mentioning pie. I used 'shriek', 'cackling', 'croaking', 'howling' and 'murmuring'. Most of those are variations on onomatopoeia, but fuck you, that's just how it is. Also I mentioned pi instead of pie, so I'm obeying the pronunciation of the law if not the letter.

Oh, crikey - that's splendid ^^" It's such an impressive range of vocabulary, and the language isn't stilted. And it's a proper story! With imagery and atmosphere and characterisation ^___^

So, so impressive :worships: Also I mentioned pi instead of pie, so I'm obeying the pronunciation of the law if not the letter. Even your author's notes are witty ^__^
