Voices of Consequence: Joan's Own

Today on Voices of Consequence, in the fifteenth century, a humble shepherdess posing as a French maid is astonished when her innermost questions are miraculously answered by invisible voices. (The woman kneels alone in a Gothic cathedral.) Maid: If you know my future, then you must tell me how I am going to die. Echoing Voice: (Rising foremost over a rumbling choir) You're not going to like it. Maid: Please, I must know. Echoing Voice: All right, you asked for it. You will die of the plague. Your physician will try to save you by hacking off your infected body parts. You will grow smaller and smaller over a period of weeks, suffering excruciating pain, until you final succumb in abject horror. Maid: That's dreadful! Isn't there a faster way for me to die? (Indecipherable chatter as the choir takes a moment to gather a consensus.) Echoing Voice: Perhaps there is. How do you feel about being burned at the stake?
