Okay - time to stop playing with the widgets and start blogging again.

Page 35, Paragraph 3 (first paragraph after the break):
My feet and hands are cold now. I try to open my eyes but they're held shut with eye-snot*, which I now scratch off so I can open them better. Daylight has come, but it's a grey day. There are so many sky-beasts that they make one beast so big that it hangs across the whole sky. The old wind blows hard, and it howls here above the pigpen.
Paragraph 4:
Now I smell cooked fish. Now, apples. I smell flowers.
Paragraph 5:
"Come," she says, "here's some food. Where do you want to go today?"
Paragraph 6:
I eat the apples and the fish while she kneels quietly beside me. I stand up to take a piss. The old wind is so strong it carries the smell of my piss far away, so I can piss on the pigpen wall without being afraid that Hob will find me. My penis is big, but it gets smaller as the water comes out of it. I turn and see that the girl is looking at my penis and smiling.
*And what do you actually call that stuff, pray tell?
