There is a lot more here than just the story of the skull, there are tipbits, crumbs, drips and drops of a greater picture that really gets you pondering about the ethics behind the movement of bones for anthropological study, although that is not necessarily what the priest here is doing. Some great bits about how those who claim the most piety, historically have, at times, in individual circumstances (that admittedly snowballed to make the pages of history) behaved the most reprehensibly.
A fine story, like a fine wine, who's aroma should be relished, before the precious ruby sipped and savored, each mouthful appreciated, not gulped <3
UwU ~ Thanks for reading and thanks for the compliments!
All contingencies retroactively presuppose itself. Or to say truly: a contingency will make itself a necessity after living itself out and justify its inclusion wherever it got lodged into. But remember to sip again as to drink as one should read again to get more than one had in one read.
And your writing always represents at least a bottle, if not a case <3 and very much worth reading so many times over. Even if I still don't fully get everything quite right ;)
And maybe some things are that: unexplainable or ungraspable. (A good relay to how Horror, Dread and Disconnection works. Hue.)
