The Ape's Wife And Other Stories
“William Shakespeare, “Venus and Adonis” (1592–1593) 1.
Alieka Ferenczi has been walking for seven days, ever since the roller she’d bought back in Annapolis salted and sputtered its final sorrowful sput. She’d known the mole’s conversion coils were half a step from fried when she bought it off a scrapyard at the edge of the city by the sea. But she was almost at her last wad now, having already paid so much to the datswap jig for cords that would lead her across the Lunae to the walls of the Ye...llow House – or might get her there, if he’d been that solo honest jig in ever one thou. The sand and dust swirls around her, various-sized dervishes to testify to how BrantCorp and AOWT’s had gone so toto hit and miss on Barsoom. Sure, there were the shallow seas stretching from Chryse north to the pole, and the southern sea, and, here and there, patches of scrubland – cactus, josh trees, verde and ironwood, yukka, shitty little paradisio’s for snakes and lizards and the occasional rodent, but not much else.MoreLess
