Wanderer, the Unfriend
He dreamt of pork pies and lemon cakes, sweet cream and caramelized bacon. So when he came upon a sheep farm, he struck. All but a lamb scattered. “Baaah!” the lamb screeched. “Ahhhh!” the Wanderer screamed, frightened. The lamb ran as the Wanderer hid. “Is someone there?” He peaked out at the farmhouse and saw a girl of nine rubbing sleep away. “Come out,” she said. “I’ll be your friend if you do!” The Wanderer had never had a friend before. It sounded nice. He didn’t know what happened next, only that when he came to, he had bits of flesh in his teeth, and hungered no more.
Word of the God Hand
“And then we come to Qoll, the arbiter of the God Hand. The painter Michael di Mil wrote in his diary that Qoll took him once in a dream to the Court of the God Hand. He spoke to him in every tongue, human and draconine all at once and that no matter what he said he was understood. He wrote that Qoll’s words were beyond language, that his meaning was understood physically and psychically, like etchings on his bones. He wrote that he could not have a full conversation for risk of his head melting from the sound. When he woke, all but one word faded back into dream. Do you know what it was, Dieter?” “A name.” “Who’s name?” “Saturion,” the boy said, a whisper.
