Marrow Hole (pages 29-30)

Transcript

… After several years of faithful service, Gareth’s heart began to falter once again. He wrote an urgent letter to the medic of the Marrow Hole, begging for assistance or advice – even some form of explanation. Sadly, Gareth Dowdin perished just after his letter was sent.

After some number of months, a reply did come to his family. It was a single page, written in a loose, scratchy hand:

Master Gareth Dowdin,

I am regretful of your condition. Alas, the demon took you as host, but its contract was with our Medic. Our Medic under whom your treatment was performed is now dead, due of age, and you are the recentmost subject to experience failure of the demonic organ. I apologize for this complication.

I do understand your struggle. I am sorry.

Medic Dreksa
