the many myths of the whipping girl

A series of myths about the whipping girl, who takes over for Death after She decides to take a sabbatical; the gilded calf, who's two heads stare ever towards the stars; violence, the only thing in the world the whipping girl truly cares about; and mischief, whose shadow lives in the moon. 

There are paincries, joycries, deathcries, and then there will be The Nothings.
