Another crazy PSOH drabble

ladyofthethreadThe Petshop of Horrors drabble community had a prompt of “purgatory” for this week’s challenge and the first thing that came to mind was Dante’s Divine Comedy since I took a whole class on it in college (not that I remember much of it now. >_>;).
So, I took a stab at it and came up with this cracked thing. XD; It was kind of forced and didn’t come out nearly as easily as the last one. Overly long, too, since challenge responses were only supposed to be 100 words. ^_^;; Includes spoilers for the end of the series and the side story from volume 2 of Shin PSOH.
Leon fumed. He’d missed D by a day! One day! And the gondolas floating by didn’t help since they just reminded him of being pushed off the Count’s flying boat.
He turned from the canal with a scowl and found himself faced with a bookshop window. He didn’t understand most of the Italian titles but Leon recognized a trio grouped together; he’d had to read them in a college class he’d barely passed.
The Divine Comedy, although he never got what was so funny about it. Some guy named Dante going through hell and purgatory to see his dead girlfriend in heaven. “Damn it! If that guy can do it, so can Leon Orcot!” Not that I even remotely think of D as a dead girlfriend…
“I’ll show the Count I’m worthy of being on his ship.” He clenched his fists, determined, as he headed for the airport. “But if D starts quoting poetry at me, I’ll wring his neck!”
Maybe, I’ll post an actual update tomorrow.
