Oglethorpe Grimswick, the last landlord of Hollowvale Tenement, submitted petition 47-B on rust-flaked parchment demanding the Black Death apply retroactively to his holdings. The form cites 1349 exemptions for bloodline purity and argues his survival amounts to an administrative oversight.
His ration log records 0.3 tenants per unit, which he converts into a shortfall of 6.7 corpses per square mile. "It is not merely revenue," Grimswick stated while gripping an empty purse. "It is precedent; absent tenants, I am reduced to counting dust motes."
Neighboring ruins now lease shade at twelve bullets per hour. The Town Council responded to the petition by adding it to an already overflowing stack of unclaimed ledgers.
