Chapter 43 As they gaped into the new morn. Momentarily the party were fooled into assuming it was the moon goddess. Yet, as the firmament of their eyes readjusted, they plainly perceived the figure of Grozette looking back at them from the bow of the ship. Her image subsided like a theophany that […]
Chapter 42 My beloved is the most beautiful, amongst thousands and thousands. A stray thought. She contemplated her navel for a time. She may have imagined hearing a distant voice as Eulin flickered above her head. She couldn’t be sure. It was far away and washed-out by other sounds. The quartet un~vanished from nothingness and […]
Chapter 41 Moon blossoms peppered the air as Min paddled the makeshift kayak toward the coastline. The surface of the lake was exceedingly still and reflected the cloud strewn pink sky, heavens most faithful of mirrors. They ploughed slowly beneath the tresses of some river-willows and were snared by an outcrop of reeds that held […]

Back and forth above their sparkling flutes of expensive liquors, whilst indulging in their personal debaucheries. A dandy but a deceitful way of life thought Ash Vani, […]
Chapter 21 The light was blinding as Brownie wandered attached to the others like a human/animal chain, she could hear a ringing in her ears from far away as the first sensation that hit her was the cool breeze and the sound of the ocean. The smell of the briny sea Found her nostrils as […]
Chapter 12. The forest edge, at the woodcutter’s station. The two pottered about the small encampment, keeping themselves busy. Brownie mulled over the events of the previous 48 hours; it was hard to digest, like something out of a horror movie, it made her head hurt thinking about it. The dusk was encroaching again, and […]
