Summary: "The car is travelling west. There's dust packed in the grooves of its tyres. The road is an endless, undulating line and the sky arches blue over both horizons. Remus pushes the pedal to 150 and turns up the radio." An ode to the Australian opal fields.
Notes: A mineful of thanks to my betas, M and L, and to the mods for their gracious patience. I would also like to acknowledge the Indigenous peoples and nations of Australia, upon whose lands this story was conceived, written, and takes place.
