10 Zephyrean pines climbed fog banks, let go of the earth, and took root in clouds. Their pale needles absorbed the light of cities below.

11 ‘It’s Țepeș Weed,’ he said, eyes narrowed. ‘It only grows to impale someone who’s been tied to the ground. A staple of dark horticulture.’

12 He planted drops of fire in rows across the fields of sand. When autumn came, he gently gathered his fragile harvest of stained-glass wheat.

13 Winter never came. After autumn, each new season was more glorious than the last. In February, golden clouds rained down scarlet lightning. By June, the black of space was visible throughout the day. The sun rose red, crossed the spectrum, and set violet. By October, plants lost their physical forms to become columns of twisting, luminous smoke. Their orange ember-seeds traced the wind’s path.
