Trying for Hedda by The Fool Volk

Trying for Hedda is loosely based on Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen. Loosely, as in, imagine if you were in a room where Hedda Gabler had once been. Perhaps years ago. Or perhaps in the way a creature who is not constrained by the laws of time has been in a room. And you smell her perfume. And it makes you choke. It almost kills you. And you are so close to entering the valley of the dead, but then Hedda, from the heavens, gives you her dress, and asks you to be the next Hedda. To usurp her. That is Trying for Hedda.
