[1500] A Good Man Lost

Content warning: Sexual assault.

I wanted to get a head start on the Halloween contest this year, and it's a good thing I did, because in my stupidity I either didn't read the rules or forgot that (and I quote) "we will not accept graphic sexual violence." Even so, I spent so much time polishing this story that at this point I care about it for its own sake.

I'm especially unsure of the title, which was originally going to be the equally-bad "Heinrich the Alchemist"; any suggestions would be appreciated. I'd also be interested to know people's general reactions, since I suspect I may have failed to strike the right tone, and am having doubts now that this should be allowed to exist at all.

Critiques:

[1279] Lydia at night, part 3

[1563] Two Poems

That second critique definitely isn't worth the full 1563 words, but I'm hoping it can be worth at least 221.
