ACHILLES


It is a turn of events. It never happened. Yet there is a body.

The wind hectored Achilles, brought exhaustion and battered his body, dragging it through the air as though across a battlefield.

His corpse tumbled from the heavens and landed in the courtyard of a church, hallowed ground, sanctuary.

There is no longer fear. There is no longer labor. There is only a body.
