mirabeau

by Jessica Amanda Salmonson

An inmate informed Leonora, "Mirabeau seeks the whereabouts of a legendary guillotine that takes nine heads at once. It is rumored to stand in the courtyard of a secret pornologic society, along with other ingenious devices. When there are sufficient volunteers, each client is immobilized, then aroused to a pinnacle of pleasure, by the most skilled hands. The climax is mass decapitation."

"I shouldn't enjoy it myself," said Leonora.

The inmate replied, "You are not Mirabeau."
