”“I’m shocked that can happen so near to where we live. Don’t get me wrong Ian I’m not condemning it at all. You just don’t expect it do y...ou? Do women go there too?”“I didn’t think so until one evening after going there for months a couple came in and stood at the side aisle together holding hands. They were there for about an hour and I decided that nothing was going to happen and went out for a beer nearby. I went back after half and hour to see them sitting in one of the rows in the middle..

With another foe felled, Imnok was bursting with cautious hope. Hope that she may finally be the one to leave with the grace and gift of the Artefact, for there may not be.
