The Story

Okay, so imagine you’re Pericles, a dashing prince, correctly guessing a dark royal secret. The king doesn’t love you for it, so he tries to kill you. You take off on a ship (smart move), but there’s a freaking storm, and you’re shipwrecked on some shore in silence. Luckily, a couple of fishermen feed you and drop you into a jousting tournament. You win. Fantastic as long as you can still breathe—nope, another storm, news your enemy is still mad, you marry Thaisa, who then gets shipwrecked — wait, loses you after she supposedly dies at sea. Oh, and your baby daughter Marina gets a birthmark and evil caretakers who later sell her to bondage. Years pass, Pericles becomes a zombie King of Tyre, refusing to wash or want to live. Then, the magical thing everyone loves reappears at sea with strong wordplay and miraculous plot dots drawn to an Art collector that forces your eyes back to the story.
