Cooper pressed his hands over his ears, but the world still got in.
The hum of the lights buzzed behind his eyes, too sharp, too close, like bees trapped beneath his skin.

A picture of a book cover. A small living twig is growing from the center of a chopped-down tree trunk. White text reads "A Tchao in Ilimak, a story of Dainu, by JG Duke".
"Limash sat on the eastern border of Brachao. It was surrounded almost completely by mountains, forests, or ocean; protected from all sides against any who would try to invade. Protected also, one might think, from any who would try to escape."

On the morning of the episode at the Nashville Biscuit House a few days ago, I ran through the park with my wife Ophelia and watched her delighted shrieks take flight into birdsong.
