fill the air like the embers that rise into the crystal night. At this time, an Elder will clear his throat and begin one of the Old Stories, how one bright day, paperbacks were everywhere and people travelled in metal appliances with paperbacks near them. People even had them in machines where food was served, if the Legend holds true. Of course, some of this has to be sheer Fabrication, but the eyes of the Young open wide in disbelief at this wild idea. Seeing this, the Elder will cackle with mirth and say, "Well, it's only a Story, young one. Only a story."
But still, in in the crackling fire that shoots up high and the wind that blows like a thousand summers, the call of the Wild Ones echos across the Darkened Land. It is then that I sometimes hear a small voice in my head, a voice like that of a Child: "Paperbacks. Paperbacks as numerous as the stars."
