Gideon

by Verity Spott

Gideon is a hex; a sigil. The three sections record and contest alternate histories, quick-scoping again and again the same target, only to pronounce him dead already and absolutely immortal. The three sections are counterparts - Gideon, Isis and Eris. A grotesque and unmanageable trinity.
