Irsud (2016)
“The yellow sun that she still found a little disturbing was a semi-arc above the gray stone of the wall with the patroling sabutim crossing it, their long narrow black shadows like prison bars blocking, it seemed to her, something of the sun’s too meager light and heat.
The shadows in the garden wrote long thin hieroglyphs over the smooth cropped green of the lawn.
Aleytys stroked the gun on her lap. Fingernails clicking on the hard surface of the weapon, she shifted her gaze to the singing wat...er and contemplated the mottled stones at the bottom of the stream.
In their smooth roundness they reminded her of the bubbles in her dream. As she stared down, they began to tumble around then crawled up onto the sandy shoulder of the stream as she urged them along until laughter bubbled in her head and she sent them capering about over the grass like small imps in a herdfolk dance.
She called one to her and cried out as it came too strongly, glancing painfully off her cheek. She rubbed the small sting and stared thoughtfully at the scattered stones, then touched the gun in her lap, scraping her nails over the hard surface.MoreLess
