Word from the Shore

seven_cities.17

The shore people paddle out to meet us before the anchor has even touched bottom, and by afternoon they are trading us fish and fresh fruit, and trading talk faster than either. They have clearly done this before. For a knife or a length of cloth they will tell us what lies beyond the treeline, and they tell it eagerly, gesturing always inland and onward. Whether they point us toward the truth or merely toward their neighbors is impossible to know from the beach.
