“ —Saylo Imono, phib philosopher, Currents The elders had been hung by their thumbs from the framework that normally served to smoke meat during the fall months, when the entire village labored to make itself ready for winter, and the dogs grew fat from eating scraps. The villagers’ bare feet had been weighted with rocks, and hung only six inches above the coals, which meant that those who were conscious could smell their burning flesh. All because the village’s chief had been so brav...e, or so stupid, as to spit on the crippled man.

The subchief screamed, or tried to, but produced a strange choking noise instead.MoreLess
