I'm trying out a new style of writing today. I'd appreciate a comment to tell me if you prefer this or the old style. Thanks!
The Church of Morgan
Morgan, in VR, is playing drums in a jazz band. He’s actually pretty good.
Julia narrates. On day 38, the group is 6800 kilometres from New Pacifica, and ‘so far from home it’s unimaginable.’ Bess is taking a bath. She watches Morgan in his VR while Julia muses on the different ways people are handling – or not handling – their loneliness. She considers hers to be the worst because she’s carrying a secret. ‘It’s like being afraid of the dark as a child,’ she tells us, ‘and then growing up to find the dark is real and it’s coming after you. And maybe it’s you.’ Grow a pair, Julia.
Helping to pack up camp, Uly’s attention is caught by a patch of ground. He kneels to examine it more closely. He pushes on the ground but his hand sinks straight in. Frightened, he calls for Devon, but by the time she arrives everything is normal. She hurries him off to do his chores.
Julia’s been watching. She tests the ground, but it’s quite firm.
