A Stray to Botaram updates on Tuesday and Thursday.


Title: Hard to See
(The passage is narrow, Aun hunches down and moves forward but Chax's head scrapes on the ceiling.)
Chax: I don’t think I can make it through here, Aun.
Aun: Ayi, you’re right. Just try to pull me back if I get into trouble.
(Aun presses on past dark and sharp shapes, listening to the faint thrumming of the station in the background.)
Aun: Too dark, hard to see...
(Suddenly some horrid but familiar noises arise from the darkness.)
Screeching noises: khyyyyaa, khhekhiii
Aun: Oh, Nai...!

Too Much Power…

As of this writing, I am back online in a warm and well-illuminated house. I’d like to thank our neighbors, Laura and Alexis, for sharing the use of their generator during the first few days, and our friends, Betsy and Stefan Burr, for opening their house to us, sharing dinner with us, and lending us their generator in our time of need.

However, it seems that while wrestling with setting up the heavy generator, I dealt my back a blow from which it has yet to recover. I am therefore bedridden for now, and so am postponing the next entry of Botaram to the coming Monday.

Until!

Sandstorm

I am at least provisionally in the path of the East Coast hurricane, and have just gotten the hatches reasonably battened. I will be working on Botaram tonight and tomorrow as power and laptop battery permit. Provided that cell coverage remains, I should have the next entry up by tomorrow evening. Until!

What’s going on…

Still not dead, but now having some health concerns in addition to other worries. This isn’t shaping up to be a good year…

Nevertheless, I am assigning a firm date for Botaram’s return; I expect to be back in the saddle on Monday, September the third. I trust that I will not be proven wrong.

To those who are still checking in, I thank you for bearing with me.
