A fragment — The Ike Series

From chapter one · unpublished

Ike came to the Night Market with nothing in his hands.

He was small. The Market was not.

Everything there was easy. Someone handed him breadmark 1.1 · that he was given bread and ate it before he asked. Someone lit the lamp above his head. Someone swept the place where he had been standing.

He did not have to carry anything. He did not have to remember anything.

That is as far as it goes for now. The rest of the chapter has pictures in it and the pictures are not finished.

The underlined word above is a mark. Stopping on it puts it in your record, and your record is kept in this browser and nowhere else. Scrolling past it does nothing, which is the entire idea: what you stop on is what you carry.
