[quote]A moment’s suspense
The sliver arcs out over the dark water and disappears. Did it strike the water? Did it vanish in mid-air?Above the surface, something flickers - dark-bright, like wet onyx in a glimmer of moonlight. It moves lazily back and forth. It’s much bigger than the quartz sliver was. Is it something entirely different? You can’t make it out. It’s winged and metallic-sheeny and in its wake, something like music disturbs the surface. It comes no closer. You watch until it’s gone.[Find out more about this place at www.fallenlondon.com[/quote]
