Aug. 27th, 2007 01:57 pmXander dreams in black and white.
In Africa, nothing was black and white: It was a continent of startling bursts of color on a dry landscape. Like Technicolor calligraphy strokes on ancient parchment.
Xander dreams of knives, of dull blades scraping along his bone. He dreams of obscure tribal leaders, human bone in headdresses. He dreams of civil war, blood on children's faces. The knife is the easiest part. He longs for the knife after a while.
It's the singing that's hardest.
Sing for me, the woman weeps. She bends her head in front of him so he cannot see her tears.
Sing for me and they'll spare my daughter.
Sing the words of music you know. Sing anything, it doesn't matter what. But sing for me.
