A long while ago I received a gun from the ‘Dakota Obelisk’ and that has rendered me fairly flush with weaponry. I’m more of a run-away guy when it comes to trouble, and the only comfort that the gun has brought me (that I might fire a few shots into the air during my retreat and scare off my pursuer) is largely offset by a fear that it will go off suddenly in the locked box in the closed cupboard in the back of the camper van. Even though its safety is on. Even though it’s unloaded. The gun never quite leaves my mind and leaving it somewhere would be a relief but I can’t bring myself to toss it. What if it comes in handy?
That’s what I’m worried about.
So I don’t try my luck at ‘The Garden of Embedded Objects,’ which is largely just weapons fused in stone. The embraced implication of all this seems to be that whomsoever removes any one of the objects will invariably use it to serve some purpose greater than the piddly goals and motivations they had been working toward before. My concern, as is often the case, is about curses. The difference between my cheap lockbox and the twisted rock encasing an axe that seems to hum with power is minimal at best. Sometimes people put things away because they shouldn’t be used.
‘See it while it lasts, travelers:
‘The Garden of Embedded Objects’ has been approved for purchase by a private equity firm which, according to various LinkedIn posts, plans to simply grind away the materials incasing these strange objects and accept the various quests as a single, multi-person entity. Those quests that grant significant monetary funds as reward will be pursued so long as the likely prize will outweigh the costs. Those quests meant for love and honor will be sold at private auctions.
So, see it while it lasts.’
