Shyaklá’s Whisper from Away
The story of her journey wants to erupt. But no words will form. No sound issues. She touches her throat. My voice. She reels, the whisper trapped inside her.

“You will find the chest of abominations. Smash the letter into bits. The demon seeds you will destroy. The pod, as they call it, you will bring to me."

Maya's Executive Decision
“This place reminds me of a story I read about, The Cathedral of Chartres. It burned to the ground way back in the day. Lightning. From all over the countryside, people came to rebuild it. Some from hundreds of miles away. Masons. Brick layers. Carpenters. And to this day, nobody knows who built the Cathedral of Chartres.” She smiles.
“I believe that can be us.”

Proposal
“I know you can’t guarantee it, but it is my prayer in this moment as I sit with you, as I think of him, as I love him for who he is and who he was and who he can be again. You make sure you do your job and he gets back.”

History Class
“The simple movement of his body rings back the memory clear and clean to him every time. He is seven years old, crouching next to his father in a field of wheat, waist high, golden and bobbing in the gusting wind. Its dense, tight smell. The dry soil crumbling between his fingers as they wait. In the distance, under a dark gray sky, the men edge the woods.”

Shyaklá’s Prayer
She pulls her torch loose from the circle of stones. The trio walk back down the trail in bubbles of flickering light. The shadow emerge from the trees, watching them.
