->Tactile mesmer

->Renaud’s story is a common one among those sired by dissenters: a beautiful stranger, a whirlwind romance, promises of love and life eternal…and then the sobering morning after when it all comes crashing down. Unsatisfied by his life in rural France and desperate for the chance to do and be more, he was easy prey. He’ll never know if she really loved him or not; they say it looks different in elders. Decades have passed since then but hatchlings are born with a skewed sense of time. For Renaud, the wounds of betrayal and abandonment are still agonizingly fresh, made all the worse by the unusually rapid loss of his last ties to humanity. Eternity is much lonelier than he was told it would be.
