Prediction
Cerys saw it coming from a way behind her. It whizzed, it whirred, it spun and sparked. She caught the idea and held it tight.

Odyssey
-Remember, our wedding bed was a living olive tree whose roots still drew deep into the earth….
-BUT WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?
Drums
The gulls down the chimney sounded discordant brass, the foxes ripped cardboard with a wettened yell, the crack of dawn drummed
