Sailor, writer, twitter neophyte. Surprisingly patient with the cat this morning even before coffee.

•6200 BC: I see one thing, but I see it without eyes: angry gods made me blind. My othersight frightens the village shaman, though. He says that because I live the gods make catastrophes around us.

Maybe he’s right. But I don’t want to be killed today.

•6200 BC: Kaikos only wants safety and acceptance. But she is the cause of the gods’ anger and the cooling earth: why else would the child have been born blind?

Acceptance? Impossible. And if she wants safety, she must flee alone into the mountains.

•8200 BC: She had an advantage under the mountain. She had been blind from birth, so being lost in the darkness in a maze of caves was no different to her than being lost anywhere else. To the men hunting her the blackness was terrifying.

But lost is lost.
