Summary
“My father explained my delusion. ‘This fox is dead’, he told me, ‘it may not seem so, but once the frost melts it will rot like anything else.’ I found this untenable at the time. But now I wonder, if nature is capable of suspending a creature between life and death, how will humans inevitably attempt the same?”
Relentlessly, thinks Caleb. And without any thought for the soul.
“Curious,” murmurs Thelyss. “Have you witnessed any practical experiments upon this theory?”
“No,” he lies.
Caleb hears word of a scholar, one who lives alone. It is unwise to knock on the door of a man known to be a cold host, but Caleb is desperate and has little to lose. He enters thinking there cannot be anything more monstrous inside but himself. However, he soon sees and experiences what he believed was found only on the pages of folktales.Series
