Axiom the Fourth
The problem was their clothes. Everything else was just downright freaky, but wearing the thin cashmere and cotton of the desert, while four feet of ice covered the dunes? Blackened appendages were only the beginning. Horrible things happened to people who strayed too far from the fires, which had begun to tax the endurance of the man who was supposed to maintain them. Coleman eyed him with more than a trace of concern, up there at the head of the marching order. From beside him came a nwww.onedoor.ccudge."How much longer, do you think?""Days. Maybe weeks," said Coleman. He'd walked this trail before. Besi...
It's the Little Things
