    Summary

    It is not true that jockeys don't feel pain. We do. We just don't talk about it, even when our skeletons are torn out; we don't feel the pain until people say something hurtful like "why aren't there any horses," and then we have to take all of that toughness and try not to break down and sob, because we are bastards and bastards don't cry, because if bastards start crying even a little bit then they just end up laying on the floor drinking their full bodyweight in brandy, empty, pitied; not having any horses at all, the horseless men of the horseless world.

    Instead I said, "because when I put the menaces on people it works strangely well, because I'm so much smaller than them, and it makes them go, oh, look, he's so little and menacing, Gladys, give him a biscuit."

    Then I thought about it some more and added, "And then I keep the biscuit."

    Or,

    An abridged retelling of the 1965 Dick Francis novel “Odds Against.”

    Summary

    His Song is one of order.

    His Song speaks of precision.

    His Song is perfection; very much befitting a craftsman.

    His Song is Aulë’s, and in his halls it resonates since the very first time their doors swing open in Almaren. Until one day – another melody creeps in, and it becomes more and more difficult to keep the old rhythm…
