The Gossip
The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished. What was left of it at least. Could I even call it a river, it looks not much more than a creek within a canyon carved from the monstrous force it once was. But enough of that, that was the bi product of what had been. Dry season after dry season, water becoming sparse, food running low, and tempers high within the walls of the city, let alone the villages about it. The people, they blame her, the queen that is. They say it is her fault the gods have not blessed us with rain, that they do not fill our rivers and lakes, that they do not water our lands and our crops. Maybe they are right... if you believe such things that is.

The Vastness of the Sky. Top Story - November 2024.
My tortured bones long for fire, yearn for the consummation of smoke and ash scattered by the wind to a beckoning end. Once upon a time I was a massive, ancient tree but you broke me down and made a house of me.
