Ceru stepped outside, and surely as the hand of woman scorned, felt the angry slap of mother nature upon a cheek once abandoned by mother biology. With eyes tired, slits in the wind, and lips cracked and dry as desert floor, he looked again to the heavens and again his mind fought what his eyes told him was there. He managed to expel three words, and as if the plaintive cry were the skeleton within, felt his body collapse upon itself: "Oh My Janus."

Finally we see the whole of Hyneria, yet we do so at a time when the sight is painful. Such a dramatic piece of writing to go with the image, dramatising the image as it goes. Too good for words, scorned, aandoned, tired, wind, cracked, dry, desert, fought, expel, plaintive, cry, skeleton, collapse it's one blow after another, a brilliantly evocative piece of writing, wow!
:-)
Scary!
That image gives me the 'heebee jeebees'! [to quote a friend of mine :] ]
