Love it!

Oh minmin, you and your desire to write gothic literature…

This for me held all of the substance that I missed slightly in the skip itself (although I loved the use of Sagrada Familia for illustration there). I was sufficiently convinced by the style of writing that I was reading period document. And the story, while straightforward, was well-told.

in the ruins of a temple in the jungle of Benares

If that doesn't refer to what I think it does, minmin, never tell me - I grinned madly when I read it. :)

But Benares is a city. How can there be a jungle inside a city?

Poetic licence - like "the mountains of Vancouver" or "the beaches of Perth".

It is very much intentional, if anachronistic - the lines of the anomalous community were more fluid in those days before the lines of the Groups of Interest were more formally drawn (and before anomalous suppression was more strictly enforced in the 20th century), and "specialists" like Jitinder would definitely find their services sorely needed by all manner of parties beyind the veil, be it Broken Church or Royal Foundation. : )

I originally upvoted for "Dr. Barton scoffed and claimed that it was merely the work of ghosts." By the end of the story, I wanted to upvote again. Excellent work, in both content and execution.

A fantastic homage to gothic horror! It was a lot of fun to get to read the story both in the traditional Foundation presentation and then in a format more traditional for the subject matter. It's hard to write believable genre fiction in the context of this site, so this is something I really treasure. +1

Dr. Barton scoffed and claimed that it was merely the work of ghosts.

I adore this line so, so much. It tells you so much about the world they live in that ghosts get a "it's just the cat" line when talking about strange and mysterious happenings.

Congratulations on the excellent rendering of the literary and writing form popular in the time period. It's hard to do well, and you pulled it off perfectly.
