Journal Entry: Fri Jan 25, 2008, 8:40 PM
'Sometime there will come a day when we ourselves shall have to give place to a new thing. Very certainly we shall struggle against the inevitable just as these remnants of the Old People do. We shall try with all our strength to grind it back into the earth from which it is emerging, for treachery to one's species must always seem a crime. We shall force it to prove itself, and when it does, we shall go; as by the same process, these are going.'
A young boy being raised by a religious-zealot father who takes the commandments against mutation even more seriously than his society requires. One day in early childhood, this boy meets a young girl and discovers she's hiding an extra toe. He likes her, so he promises to keep her secret. Her fate provides him a stern warning about what might be his own.
