In order to support the show, we will need to help with some great advertisers.

And to find great advertisers, we need to learn a little bit more about you.

So if you have time, please go to podsurvey.com, slash fictional, and take a quick anonymous survey

that helps get to know you a little bit better. Even if you've taken another podcast listener survey

before, even for a show that's extremely similar to this and that I also narrate, this one is

specific to fictional, so we really need you to take this one too. Plus, once you've completed

the survey, you can enter to win a $100 Amazon gift card. Again, that's pod survey

.com slash fictional FICTIONAL. Thanks so much for your help.

Previously on fictional, the poet Dante and the ghost of the poet Virgil were on a trip through hell.

They had seen some pretty messed up stuff so far and they came to the area containing the

Minitar and their first plan was to avoid it, as is sound advice for any Minitar encounter,

but that went right out the window when they turned the corner and the mythological beasts saw

them and lowered its head to charge. Virgil took one look at the fierce Minitar and knew what he

had to do. Forget what I said Dante, he shouted, clambe, be really, really mean. The periola

of the creature hurling insults left and right, until he became so disoriented and blind with rage

that he turned to the sky, shaking with anger and bellowing. That's when Dante and Virgil made

their break, escaping past the emotionally distraught beast as he wailed. At last, the Minitar turned

his attention back to the intruders, stopping the ground to charge, only to find that Dante and Virgil

had disappeared. For a while, he searched everywhere for the pair, but in the end,

he just returned to wandering aimlessly in the dark because that's all the Minitar ever does.
