Kyrie Eleison
Kyrie Eleison (Κύριε, ἐλέησον)
Translated from the Ancient Greek: Lord, have mercy. Simultaneously a petition and a prayer of thanksgiving; an acknowledgement of what God has done, what God is doing, and what God will continue to do.
The sun set a long while ago. In the long night that has stretched on since, Pandora has had ample time to think about who she used to be, what she's become, and what might lie ahead.

ahh jinx!! i loved this??? i loved your turn of phrase, i loved your imagery, i loved the devotion, i loved the religious motifs. Do you want to remember? Yes!! Yes i want to remember!! i would have killed for a full story of this. i think the whole premise compels me. i live for this !!
I'm not able to play it because my browser gives me an error (storage and such). I find this happening more and more on itch lately, so it's probably not your fault. Quite strange, though.
If you're using Brave or a browser on private/incognito mode, that could be causing the error. I tested it on Chome and Firefox just now and both worked - hope you're able to play soon!
I got to play it! Lovely. The repetitions, the title you chose, such a poetic piece.
Lovely writing! Didn't look at the tags so took me a bit to figure out what was going on, but once I realized everything fell into place real quick. Has the dark, brooding beauty of a Gothic fairytale.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it - that atmosphere is exactly what I was going for.
