This is a small piece of an original story I've been writing. It's a terribly irritating story, all layers upon layers, but I kind of like it. See, we have one woman (Harai Inosike) telling the story of another woman (Laila Tolemeus) who was inspired by a third woman (Marea Shouja). And the first woman repeats three versions of the third woman's story, as told to her by women four (Ifira Burosca), five (Somae Taucannig), and six (Larachine Enu). With much religious philosophy mixed in, and a vague pretense of the whole thing being a sort of sociological paper. It's enough to give me a headache.
Anyway, this is version one of woman three's story, as told to woman one by woman four.
Say that three times fast. :-p
( Finding Marea )Am nearly decided about my future (at least until the end of the year). It's kind of scary to throw yourself into the gulf of possibility and hope you can sail to a safe harbor. But still. All will be well, and all manner of things will be well.
