“A blessing in many ways, because it drew a screen across the crap, blotted out the decay of the walls Under, the flimsiness of the swaying walkways. The city was reduced to orbs of Glow lights shining on whiteness. At least the slush underfoot was a drab grey, else I’d have thought I’d managed to rearrange myself into some weird place where everything wasn’t screwed to hell. If I ever found myself there, I dare say I’d be bored to tears in under an hour. I was screwed to hell too. I’d been ...a good boy and not used any more magic, but that didn’t make a lick of difference to the throb of my poor hand, where the juice built up like water behind a dam. Didn’t make a lick of difference to the black either. It was back, had never really been away, was singing sweet nothings in my ear. The trouble with the whiteness of the snow was that it showed up the shadowy outline of a tiger stalking towards me out of the corner of my eye. Then I’d blink and it would be gone, only to stalk me from another direction.MoreLessRead More Read Less
