This story was written by Miriam Patrick and inspired by section 37 of the Satyricon in which we meet Fortunata and she is described as a variety of things including a magpie. This scene reveals that Fortunata has some power over Trimalchio as he listens to what she says and, even if she were to say it was night at noon, he'd believe her.
This story is written in letter format and imagines what Fortunata might write to her imagined sister. No name is given for her sister in this letter. At this time (29 July 2021) no second letter has been written, but is in the works. When it is ready, this post will be updated to include a link to it.
