Niehas, a Dream (a gravestone I once saw)

I watched it coming all day and it arrived, and destroyed us because we were too small and insignificant for its awful care. It decided to bury us alive to make our home beneath the dirt where, if yo...

Best books of the year...turn out to be non-fiction

Why. Because I never left. Why. I never thought I'd die. Why. The water felt so cool. Why. Sea nymphs tempted me. Why. There was no reason not to; either way, the earth would take me back, the waters...
