This is one of Maya's original works, a very long story about...well, she said it best in her summary.
There were tribes in the Stone Age that worshipped animals, and wished to infuse their spirit into humans. This is the story of a tribe which succeeded in replacing the souls of a dozen children with animal spirits, and which discovered that sometimes the worst thing that can happen is your prayer being answered. A look into the mind of one of the children, the hatred we can have for the gods who walk among us and the screaming horror of immortal love.
It made me cry so hard that I couldn't see the computer screen, and it was shattering and beautiful and I love Maya, and everyone should read this immediately.
You know, it's been well over half a year since I read this and I cannot bring myself to re-read it because it's so depressing. But in a good way! Really! What are you listening to me for, go read it!
Which reminds me that I still have not read Dark Side of Light because I am scared of it. I should go do that. If you don't hear from me today it's because I'm curled up in a corner sobbing.
...but still in a good way!
