@daisy@hachyderm.io @daisy@eightpoint.app Sisters of Rail, Chapter 3. Gentle, creamy-smooth description of an evening in the household of the large young family of a poor farmer with high morals and sweet-sour sibling banter.

"I am sorry that took a little long.  I dropped the scissors."  Both those statements were completely true.  I was no liar. However, that did not mean I was exceedingly generous with the truth.  I did not have anything to hide, but I preferred not to be made to justify every little thing I did, said, or thought.  That was tiresome and unnecessary.

The chapter is, to be fair, a slow burner, which does nothing to advance the story other than to cement the domesticated, God-fearing, almost pre-ordained lives of some children who, one gets the impression, are about to have their lives turned upside-down. This foreboding is finally promoted with the very last sentence, which gently tells us, without excessive dramatics, something untoward is definitely afoot.

@daisy@hachyderm.io @daisy@eightpoint.app This is my favorite online serialisation at the moment, with beautiful prose and a real air of mystery. I wish it was a tad more expedient, but it is elegantly suspenseful for its slow draw.
