Malevoween 2025 Day 6 - Leather
Every step is performed by hand: flaying of the skin, removing the hair, tanning. The Dark World’s fleshy trees provide tannin and fats both to the process. When the hide is dry and soft, the Dollmaker cuts and sews and pulls it tight over themselves.
The leather is supple, but strong. It clings to their many angles and bulges, and they delight in the pull of it against their skin with every movement. Binding all their disparate pieces. In the infinite possibilities of this hell, they appreciate the constriction defining them. “Wonderful,” they murmur. “Thank you, Frederick, for your contribution.”
