so the toughest guy was beheaded, like John the Baptist, when the seductress Salome was in the windowsill, charming him as he walked the the board, and she takes the girl’s hand, charming her as well? or is she her daughter?

Fair critique, Coccinella. I’ll try a rewrite.

this is giving me the chills. carry on please!

I much prefer the rewrite!

This is really weird. It’s kind of like an animé or something. Not too bad at all.
