   Summary

   When Cassius's eyes are closed, the sweat inside his palms is all scathing desert heat. The sounds have all uncoiled in between the familiar and the dreamed. The hail pealing on the tents, a man’s panicked voice. The quake of thunder. Drumbeats.

    

   The night before Philippi, Cassius receives a visitor who never should've been there.
