When Gramp tied these thin-bodied ephemerella, as he known as them, on size-eighteen hooks, their faded eco-friendly our bodies and diaphanous grey wings reminded us of tiny, unmoored sailboats, and while the duns themselves have been adrift upon the outside of the pool, we watched as a complete armada of soft, translucent ships spun and took flight.

I was amazed that I could hear him. I struggled for my voice, choking on dust, some thick, pooling liquid, and—though it shamed me—fear. “I want Cordel,” I said, my finger crooking on the trigger of my pistol. Marley bent over me while Deckard gathered pieces of the monster. Heminge, who unaccountably still had all his hair, grabbed at Fishman’s arm. ” A few minutes later my leg was bandaged and splinted. Deckard had the pieces of the monster laid out in roughly their original relationship, albeit disjointed and unmotivated now, studying them with the intensity of a mystic at the feet of his god.
It whirled, clattering, a motile version of the crystalline plants of this world except for the well-worn but fully functional Naval-issue assault rifles in two claws. Rolling up against a backbreaking jag of rocks, I drew my own pistol, but the blunted flechettes intended for antipersonnel use in vacuumconstrained environments would have very little effect on this bright, spinning monster. Heminge moved past me, firing his much more deadly meson pistol. The rays gleamed with an eerie antilight, the air ripping as the weapon sundered the very molecules that sustained us all, dust particles flashing into component atoms in the same moment to create an eye-bending sparkle that distracted even our ferocious many-limbed assailant.
I shuffled forward, supported by Deckard, and let my face tip into his hands. They trembled, warm and tinged with honest sweat. He stroked my hair a moment, a blessing. Then: “Go, de Vere. ” And so I went, followed by my unbreathing crew. The last I saw of Lehr, Cordel and Fishman were closed around him, angels fluttering to the aid of a dying god. Six Degrees was empty, of course. Though the companionways and cabins were where my memory had said they should be, they were unpeopled. Decorated, sets for a play that the actors had abandoned.
