Anthology of Ichor Iii: Gears of Damnation
“It means ‘water plant’ but it also means ‘fair’, and that is because I have light skin much like a Westerner. Papa said that when I was born Ping was the obvious name for me. Granma also has pale skin and she says that my mother had it too. She says that that makes us special.
I am eleven years old but smarter than most kids. I know this, and they do too. They usually leave me alone. There are only four Chinese families here, and most people don’t take too kindly to foreigners. This was regardl...ess of the fact that my family has lived in Arkham as well as Innsmouth for four generations. Granma says that we came from China when the sea trading and fishing was good and because we would be able to find the Lucky Mouth.
We all live in Fisheries Lane. That’s the one that runs off River Street near Garrison, which crosses the Miskatonic. The river is dark and murky like the town, but that is alright with me. My family is my life, and serving them is my duty. This also honors our ancestors.MoreLess
