Harrowhark Nonagesimus from the Locked Tomb Series illustrated in her hospital gown at the beginning of “Harrow The Ninth.” Harrow is a petite brown skinned girl wearing patterned mint and blue hospital gown. A bedsheet in hospital pattern is across her like a religious icon’s robes, and she is wearing a pillowcase over her head like a veil. Her face is covered in blood in the shape of the dark parts of a skull. She is standing in a grey space ship hallway with many panels, vents, and screws. Behind her is a window showing a dark starry sky behind her. Dominicus glows in the lower left corner of the window. Her pose is after El Greco’s “John the Baptist in the Wilderness” but the staff is replaced with an IV pole and blood bag. One access port of the blood bag is spilling out onto the floor. There is a halo in gold around her head. ALT

Worship at the holy altar// Press your mouth upon the pearly gates// Do they taste how you imagined// When you Hail Mary’d for the fruit you ate?
