Summary

Enid sleeps. Wednesday thinks aloud. Leviathan stirs.

Notes
See the end of the work for notes
Leviathan stirs.

Leviathan stirs, and dark and powerful seas tremble.

The beast cannot be chained, cannot be bound:

Lay thine hand upon it, remember the battle, do no more.

"You were not supposed to happen." Wednesday says.

Enid sleeps.

"You were not supposed to be."

Enid stirs.

Enid stirs, and Wednesday trembles.

"You are– powerful.

Like an earthquake."

The seas tremble and the land shakes and the works of kings collapse to dust and ruin.

Enid lies on Wednesday, soft, serene, peaceful, and Wednesday finds herself undone.

"You are terrible.

Like a storm."

Ships are torn asunder. Souls are lost at sea.

Wednesday's fingers run through Enid's hair.

"You are shining.

Like a fire"

A raging fire, all-consuming, ever-lasting.

Enid sighs, content, and Wednesday knows herself defeated.

"And like all those things,

You are beautiful."

There is no taming Leviathan. There is no triumph over it:

Any hope of subduing it is false; the mere sight of it is overpowering.

Leviathan wakes.

Leviathan wakes, and worlds crumble.

Enid wakes, and she looks upon her work: a ruined temple, a sinking ship, a pile of ash, a
world in tatters.

She looks upon Wednesday undone, and she smiles.

"You are a monster." Wednesday says, and Enid's smile only grows.

She understands.
End Notes

Writing the Wednesday POV for Bad Night got me stuck in Wednesday's mind space and this
is what came out of that.

The two sentences in italics are from the bible, from Job 41:8-10
