“Grandma Bo?”
“Yes, Thut”
“Tell me a story about death.”
It was, perhaps, an odd request, coming from a six year old boy. One must recall, however, that I was a Metenem child growing up in Ptemya. Already, I had heard rumors that one day I would be taken up to the cave to learn the lesson of Death. Since the older children were forbidden to speak of this ordeal to the younger echelons we had all heard a great deal about it.
