Another Extract

Apparently, yesterday was supposed to be 'Lazy Day' and I missed it. I don't need much encouragement to do nothing, but if I did, the rain that pelted down all day would have been sufficient. Thankfully, I don't have to go out in the rain, unlike Ro et al in Discord's Apprentice.

At one point, Ro looks at the sky:

"It had been heavy and threatening for the last three days, soaking them morning and afternoon as if someone had squeezed the clouds like sponges. Between downpours the air was so heavy that it pressed against their chests, making walking an effort, especially where the road had become a morass that held on to their ankles. The dray horse walked with its head down and had begun to wheeze. It was a measure of Raimi's desperation that he was willing to make it go further."

Hopefully, I'll be able to look for a sunnier extract next time.
