This was supposed to be one consolidated ficlet, but it was 700 something characters over limit. So anyway, this is the raw unedited "ficlet’, which I hope you won’t mind is separated into two.
Okay, I’ve read this three times now and I don’t quite get why in the last sentence ‘two humans’ become one human and one divine, and furthermore I have no idea which is which. But I admire your writing nonetheless. Perhaps I’ll ponder it longer. []o) btw: the Unseen might better be called the Unspoken, don’tcha think?
Part of the issue is this is written in a series of vignettes on my comp which further explain some things, and I’m sure I left some important concepts out. The basic idea is there are two separate people: the nobility, or Unseen, who are made out to be divine; and the Seen, who are basically proles. The Unseen are masked, but wa-hey, this old lady figures it out and kills the dude. I may have just taken all the mystery out of it, but that’s the general idea. The last “divine” is just what his social status is. It’s supposed to be ironic.
