The Return of the Thin White Duke

The main character of this story is The Thin White Duke, one of singer-songwriter David Bowie’s many alter-egos. The Duke has ruled over the kingdom for a very long time until a subject, brought from the dungeon, referred to him as a monster. The Duke admits that he may be a monster. One of his servants, an information beetle, asks what would make The Duke happy, and the Duke replies with “I need a heart.”
