[Fic] "Day of the Dead" -- original

Here is this week's offering, very loosely based on a dream I had several years ago. (The dream was much more explicit than this. I would rate this story a mild PG-13 at best, and that only for vague implications in the last lines.) ETA: Revised 11/19/05, with further minor edits 6/23/06, since I later elaborated the dream/vignette into a proper world and story. This version is more compliant with the (hopeful) eventual book.

---------------------------------------------

In other news, Vicky informs me that "Fire," my currently unedited Hermione monologue, has definite potential despite the massive self-insertion. The way I see it, my childhood has substantial similarities to what I imagine Hermione's was like. Why not use my own experiences to add verisimilitude?

The Milton paper is driving me up the wall. Also, I suspect the war in Heaven section, with the cannons, snuck into the preceding ficlet in Ata's invasion and siege tactics. Yay infernal engines of metals torn from the entrails of the earth, which belch fire and sulphurous vapors!

Milton can kiss my ass

The paper is DONE! (Oh, and turned in, too.)

The only problem is that after writing a paper on Milton's use of and variations on the heroic ideal as expressed in Old English poetry, I now have an insane urge to write another paper, this one comparing Satan and Grendel. Bother.
