the beginning
No matter how far back I’ve gone or tried to go, I haven’t found the beginning. I was dropped into the situation after it had been going for at least a few hundred years, which is to say the patterns had been established, the grooves worn in well.
They got it in their heads that they had to live here. They said I had to live here, too, but they didn’t say why.
