Midas Well

Midas Well is the final destination Of pilgrims who are slave to their thirst. It’s also known as a criminals’ oasis, A palm tree-shaded den of the cursed. Midas Well tempts the lazy and the foolish, With hazy gas-lit visions of wealth. Gleaming buckets full of wishing coins, For little but the hazard to one’s health. Once you’ve made the Devil’s compromise, Apologies won’t un-ring that bell. In the end, you’re just the victim of your choice. Your fate is sealed once you get to Midas Well.
