Writing snippet of the day


              "I don't think there are witches where I come from," Boy said.
              The fox lolled his tongue in a grin. "Then your land must have the wisest witches of all."
              "I don't know. When I try and remember stuff I knew, it's all about math and the cold war and science and tv. Like, an adult fox weighs over ten pounds. I remember that. But I don't think I read anywhere that foxes could talk."
              "Of course not; most foxes have the sense to keep quiet," Reynard said, which was quite true on many worlds. (The discerning reader will find that many things to tend to be true, for sufficiently large values of ego.)
