Reckoning
“When he left our village, Hart had a distinctive smile with large, well-built arms that came from years of helping out with various things around the place. He would unload supplies from the trains and deliver them. Now his face is thin, the bones jutting into his cheeks, and there is a hollowness around his eyes. His brown hair has grown out slightly, but it is still short and slightly patchy, with a tuft sticking out at the back. He squints, trying to place where he knows me from before I whi...sper ‘Silver Blackthorn’. At first his eyes widen in recognition but then, before I can speak any further, he gives a slight shake of his head, brushing past me and entering one of the offices without a word.

I have barely caught up when the few of us who are left are whisked through to the electronics laboratories where Ignacia tells me I will be working.MoreLess
