Tethys -- Growing the Tribe Part 1 This story is a continuation of the earlier story, "Gesso, also concerning Tethys and her friends. I've tried to make it as stand-alone as possible, but it would probably read better if the first one was also read. The work is fiction, but as a powerful, wise and quite dead Wizard is reported to have said, "...but...

The germ of the idea for this began when I read a story by another author on Lit that was set at Burning Man. Having been to over five Burns, to me that story felt more like someone writing about rumors and hearsay.

In order to please her, Anne-Marie had buried her feelings. She had played the role required of her, been the perfect little society girl, but, deep down, she had never been happy. This wasn't h...

It follows on directly from the events in Chapter 2, but this time, it is the turn of twice-rejected Tina to tell her story.
