A researcher comes across a legendary text and is overwhelmed by the knowledge contained within.
Genre: Mystery, Mythology
Excerpt:
I glanced at the clean
white bandage wrapped around her left hand and a good ways down her
wrist.
“It’s going to be all right,” I said. “I’m here to help.”
The steely-eyed woman sitting across from me in the booth gave a single nod. She wasted no time on small talk and launched straight into her first question.
“The Axiom Enchiridion, ever heard of it?”
What’s the Word (that inspired the
story)?
Palimpsest: a parchment or the like from which
writing has been partially or completely erased to make room for
another text. (source: dictionary.com)
