@solebender liked for a starter !!
- ( ♆ ) ——— Daily life in Hive City is like this: stick to yourself, don’t get involved, and don’t die to some wackjob throwing their weight around. On a good day ?? Percy finds there is still absolutely nothing to do. One a bad day ?? someone tries to kill him. Almost reminds him of being back home. Which, in hindsight, is a bit sad. The killing thing not the reminding thing.
It has almost been a year since his admittance to the Hive. Enough time to grow over old fears and worries ( learn new ones in their wake ). Standing on the edge of the shore --- looking out across the water --- it’s hard to think that back in the early months this place was painful. A memory rather forgotten then remembered. Now ?? it felt more like a tie to those he’s lost. Sea breeze through a cabin window where summer voices bled in with the morning light.
A comfortable pull in his gut as waves crashed back and forth upon the shore.
