3rd Devotion: A Curse of Verse

[Solomon's voice, sounds shaky, startled.]

.....

What is this madness, I find myself in?
A loss of control, my words not my own,
I continue to fight, tho my patience is thin.
which way to my freedom of this, I bemoan...

I am afraid we lack any way in which to negate the effects of the curses. However as a general rule they do cease after twenty four hours.

... Perhaps...

a cure is what's in need, for such a sudden malady.
With science and skill, we might prevail,
such curses to fade into the pale..

There is no known way to predict or prevent curses. Though I do suppose that no harm can come from exploring the possibility of the existence of such.

Thankfully it has come to an end at last...

How dangerous are these curses anyway? And what advice could you give me for if and when one hits again...?

It strikes me as odd, that I seemed to be the only one who was not in control of my speech... do these curses hit people randomly, or has there been any observed patterns?

Some are indeed quite dangerous. There was one in which certain citizens became 'zombies' and started to attack others. Yet other curses have forced us to regress to childhood, or to exchange bodies. There is not much advice one can give - if it should be a curse which does not affect the mind, then staying inside out of harm's way would be the best course of action.

I do not believe you were the only one. I have seen several others on the Network affected in the same way as you. Unfortunately, from my observations the curses strike completely at random.

Zombies, Chiropterans, how familiar this feels... Fascinating... Is this a weekly occurrence?
