Superb.

This is excellent! I love the Borges-like labyrinth you've created, and how all the footnotes interact with one another and the 'ballad' itself.

I did note a couple of typos if you want to hunt them down after the jam ends: cemetary should be cemetery, and existance should be existence. But for something created in under 4 hours, those minor flaws didn't detract. :)
