Liege Killer



Paratwa 01



Christopher Hinz



For My Parents



Helpless halts my tongue;a devouring fever

Runs in flame through every vein within me;

Darkness veils my vision; my ears are deafened,

Beating like hammers;

Cold the sweat runs down me; a sudden trembling

Sets my limbs a-quiver; my face grows paler

Than the grass in summer; I see before me

Death stand, and madness.



—"Sappho of Mytilene"

6th century bc



Prologue



The shuttle crouched between skyscrapers, in the center of the desolate street, dwarfing rusted cars.
