June was up late the next morning. Fog had prevented dawnlight from waking her, and she had wanted to sleep in anyway. June prepared her breakfast with leisure, and even stretched a bit before dressing.

She exited, and as soon as she shut the door her Bodyanchor spiked. She swiveled towards the point of intrusion—it came from above—and braced. It was a small hunk of mineral, speckled with orange, sailing towards her in an arc. Its energy left a fading shadow, and she traced this angle up and away
 to the towering steelbarch, a fuzzy green blur in the morning mist.

He nodded, and stole another glance at Atrocity. She hadn’t moved even a little bit. Frix became quite interested in what she might look like when she blinked. He watched.

Quote from Chapter 15: The Reunion

New sensations crawled in his gut and chest — different than hunger — and he busied himself with finding and munching on the apple. He couldn’t think about what to do or say, not under these stares, not with his stomach so empty, angry and tingling.

Chapter 15 already! I enjoyed the closing sentences this week.

Boyd made a rude noise and exited in a huff, shutting the door with a bang. Atrocity sat back down, and Frix felt his heart speed up. He placed his hand to his chest, where it prickled instead of stung.

“Right. Six minutes. Hold on, and here.” The sentry dropped a waterskin and melted away. Frix struggled to his feet, took a swig, waited about thirty seconds, then bolted for the town. The water helped a little, but this was truly the last of what was in him. His sprint was loud and messy, and if there were more sentries, he was going to get caught. The one that had left him behind could probably hear it. Too late to think about that now.

0E-8 BEE

He did. All at once. The apple fell out of his hand as the gravity of everything fell back into place.

This line is quite catchy in terms of referring to Newton's law of gravitation. If you turn this story into an RPG game, I think it would be like next Baldur's Gate. Best work bro.

Just finished steamy ch5 part 3.

Mossa scrambled up the cliff side and he heard them both scamper away. Frix sat on the beach for a while afterward. He listened to the gurgling swirl of the eddy, blinking away ghostly pink streaks and wondered what it would feel like to fly.

My line favorite is:

“It was even when I was awake,” explained Frix. “The bloodlight
 or I don’t know what your people call it. Red streams, like a fountain
 and
” he couldn’t find the voice to say ‘you.’ It was too
 it didn’t seem like a thing she’d want to hear. It maybe wasn’t a thing he wanted himself to hear either. Mossa’s face flashed in his memory, and he felt hot with guilt.
