A big one today. Well, big in events and emotions. I’m positioning this as the final chapter in the second installment. I’m undecided about Part III.
It can either be Sard’s story, The Remaindered Avatar, posted already as far as it goes, but needing me to write a finale.
Or I can break new ground with Srese’s ongoing story? With Srese as the viewpoint character in this installment, Kes and Ahni continue their lives in the background with every so often a spot-lit action.
Patty, the mechanic, who came and went. Boss thought she might be able to fix the run-about. She thought it a pile of buffle* you-know-what. “Should start again,” she said. “There’s quite a good one going second-hand at Brick Resales, you know that place?”
Part Three of the saga is out–on the Brick Stories Page–up on the Menu. Telling you again because we have new readers.
*A ‘buffle’ is the type of buffalo that this story’s herders breed. The buffles are out there grazing the swamp grasses. Below, the buffle herd.
Back on track.
Srese makes it out the door and into the world
This is a whole new chapter! Please, if you find any discontinuities let me know it the comments?
Long time readers will remember that chapter numbers are continuous and that the character names signal a change of scene. Events in this chapter happen in what Kes and his people know as Rockeater’s Ridge. Srese and Sard live here, and Ahni and her people sought shelter here from Kes’s people. In this crucial chapter, Ahni’s implant takes over the habitat.
