Your body on mine. They call it Lust.

The desire for what's yours and isn't mine. They've told me it's Envy. 

My insatiable desire for more. I think it's Avarice. 

This fatigue deep inside my bones, slowing me from work. They say it's Sloth. 

The incurable thirst for the blood of those who've wronged me on my hands; they are all subject to my Wrath. 

I can make the world perfect, if only they listen. It's not just my Hubris. 

My grave is dug from the hole I created using my own teeth. This is Gluttony.

As the librarian finishes each tale, he hands his listener a piece of an ornate key, urging them to consider the price of temptation. But he warns them, with a mysterious smile, that not every piece is needed to unlock the final truth. The audience's journey into darkness may only just be is a haunting, interwoven collection that brings the seven deadly sins to life with chilling, atmospheric storytelling and moral lessons shrouded in grim fantasy, where the human heart's darkest desires and choices have devastating consequences across time.
