— from “Weapons Station”
But what I remember most, will always remember, is that smooth feel, in the darkness, of the snake passing companionably across my feet. A sensation like no other, one I’ll probably never have again. Cool, impossibly smooth, like a tactile whisper, sliding across my skin, skin on skin, into the darkness, never to be repeated. And I remember the fathers slashing downwards at the danger, the snake that had left the Weapons Station and entered the orchard.
