Summary: "Listen, and I will tell you a story. Do not write the story. Writing will freeze it; writing will kill it. Everything always changes; what does not change is dead." A meditation on the nature of truth and faith, refracted through generations of women and stories. Contains implied suicide of historical figures; implied historical (and possibly present) human sacrifice, voluntary and/or involuntary; historical and continuing religious persecution, inter-religious tension, and religiously-inspired violence. Also contains theology. *wry* (16,500 words)
Note: This story is a gift for my friend Cat. It is written nominally in the form of a monograph by a fictional character, but it is a highly non-standard monograph, for reasons which will hopefully become clear within the story itself.

Some additional story notes are available for the curious. Also, this is a backdated repost actually made in 2014 so as to have the whole story available in a single place. You can find the original posts using the -finding marea tag.
