This IS an incredibly resonant piece for me, Gillian. It's fantastic, and I love (what seems to be) the Homeric tie-ins. Yes: You almost took the words out of my mouth with that closer, Gillian. It's beautiful.
Thank you! I have loved the idea of the blind prophet ever since my Greek literature days and this one was a really enjoyable way to bring him to life!!

Amazing! Mythic and raw all at the same time. Most of these lines had me jaw dropped. So so dope
Thank you so much! I wanted to walk that line between mortal failure and divine providence, but 300 words felt like brain surgery!
You did it perfectly! It’s exactly as you describe, toooooo dope
I felt the curse in every line. Not just the loss of sight but the burden of truth no one wants to hear.
I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of the blind seer, though I how I got there from window is a mystery even to me. Thanks for reading friend!!
