THE REVELATION OF ST. VERTHAINE THE GOTH

And lo, there I was, decked out in my finest gothic and leather clothing, sipping a White Russian at the bar of my favourite goth club, and contemplating the sad state of the world. I lit up a clove and turned to watch the leatherboys, gothchicks, and vampyre wannabees do bad Tai Chi on the dance floor. All of a sudden everything froze, but only I and the music was still active. A beautiful woman in black leather and rainbow colored hair appeared on the dance floor. I couldn't keep my eyes off her. Her eyes shone like the sun Each move of her delicate arms told the story of Creation. She walked up to me and said

„I am ERIS KALLISTI DISCORDIA. I am the Goddess of Chaos. With me all things are possible. I have come to you to teach you many things, Verthaine.“

I fell on my knees and cried out „I am not worthy!“ She looked at me and smiled.

„All are worthy in the eyes of chaos. Stand up my silly goth boy, for I have something of importance to ask of you“

I stood up, and awaited with anticipation of what a goddess like Eris would ask me to do. „Your wish is my command, “ I said. She smiled at me, and with a twinkle in her eyes she said onto me:

„Can you spare one of those clove cigarettes?“

And thus I was enlightened.
