Alain’s Wife (illustrated by Ron Chan)

Alain, whose court and people lived one long day, over and over, decided that he wanted to be crushed to death by a bull elephant with two beautiful virgins at the moment of orgasm.

He struggled to decide whether this act should be at either the beginning or the end of the night’s festivities.

His wife felt that his spectacle would be best suited as the climax of the night.

He planned a party for the festivities and when the time came, he was indeed crushed to death beneath an elephant while having sex with two virgins. Alain’s wife appears in Endless Nights, in the Death In Venice story on page 2 in panel 3.
