บท 505: Bleary Eyes, Bad Decisions

The sun mercilessly stabbed between my eyelids to wake me. I managed not to scream; if I had thought sunlight unpleasant with fully working eyeballs... well, I was that much better informed.

"Beh." I said, halfway between a word and vomiting.

"That happens when you don't drink enough water." Amara said. "Get up, and you can fetch some."

"And if I decide my destiny doesn't involve fetching water?" I asked.

She swung the pail at my head. I'd like to say playfully; there was more than enough time to dodge it. "All living things need water." she said. "Even if you choose hardship for us, I'll only send a different child."

Was I, though? A child? I must have been, for I took the pail and set out for water from the nearby river.

Right past the small clearing where too many riding lizards were penned. <You.> one of them sent. <What manner of magical creature are you? Tell me now.>

Work is still trying to be mysterious and cryptic. We're learning data science skills, and teaching them to each other. Our manager is pointing at various things, and saying "learn this stuff", and we like our paychecks.

Still, acting in an insane manner in real life, it made me think about how many people think Rhishisikk is insane, or stupid, or oblivious. So... the schedule of printed chapters versus the outline is just gonna slip a lot.

Because I've been working on this for more than a year, and while I think it's artistic, or hinted at, it clearly just isn't writing to my actual audience.

So... yeah... because your support means more to me than I can put into words, I'll try writing the way y'all seem to want to read rather than the way I think I should be writing.
