Spare a thought for the things the rays touch, all the greenery and blue water that make life worth living. Some things are worth dying for, but so much more is worth living for - as young Amelius has learned, today.
In the shaded floodchannels, the heat is less, the shadows deeper. The water more accessible, in canteen and in the clear trickle below boot.
