a thought. I snatched at it, only to have it dance away. The thought itched and squirmed, poking at my brain and shouting ‘look at me, look at me!’ only to evade my grasp yet again. “Harmony,” I said. Afrit glanced at me, her eyes—they weren’t grey, but a dark blue—sparkling. I reached out finally, grabbing hold of the pesky thought and pulling it to the forefront of my mind. (Harmony.
