A Good Day to Join the Hittite Army, Chapter One. Chapter Two. Chapter Three. Chapter Four. Back at home — I mean my home, that is; I’m sorry but I haven’t the faintest idea where you live, although I’m sure it’s very nice and you’ll have to tell me all about it some other day when we’ve got the time — there’s a fellow named Ninurta, or at least there
Did we miss a chapter, or at least a paragraph, somewhere? I thought at the end of part four, Our Hero was still clinging to a rock, rather bedraggled and hopeless, but still more or less alive. I suppose he must have slipped off the rock at some point, but that doesn't seem to have been narrated...
I suppose losing chunks of the story would be in keeping with the traditions of cuneiform tablets.
Ninurta was the original Gerber Baby, don't you know.
Beyond anything I could hope or dream for in terms of reading material on a Tuesday lunch break in the end days of late capitalism. Thank you!

Thank you! I had been looking for that most delectable opening line:
-I wonder if you have ever been on a descent to the underworld?-
Aha, thank you! So we possibly should have a link up top of this, to The Earlier Chapter Five. :-D
I guess, as with rabbits, all numbers greater than four blur together. All chapters henceforth are Chapter Hrair.
Poor Ninurta
