@daisy@hachyderm.io @daisy@eightpoint.app Sisters of Rail, Chapter 2. Continues the first-person exploration of a magical world, with the introduction of a mysterious stranger. The writing continues to be lovely: it puts across with precision the structure of the scenes, but leaves so much fleshing-out to the imagination you almost feel like you are constructing a version of the story specially for you.

The path from the Wilison house's back door to the herb garden sent me directly past the household's two steam accumulators. These sturdy metal chambers stood taller than I did and were wider than they were tall. They were set several metres from the house. This distance was a careful balance between the benefits of shorter piping on one hand, and the requirements of safety and not shading the house on the other hand. The farm machinery ran on a separate, larger system. The household steam boiler was a little further away. The herb garden was on the opposite side of the boiler, but my walk was nearly twice as long due to the fenced-off solar reflectors around the boiler. Cutting through the middle of a solar collector was absolutely not a safe choice during the daylight hours.
Should also add: There is a sinister and foreboding reference to a local railway line. I'm starting to feel a tension in the air!
