Child
Abigail Sharon
Child, about 0 years old. This is the second life this soul has lived in Neshiyah.
Abigail Sharon is a small, serious child with gray eyes that fix on whatever moves—a hen, a wheel, a stranger’s hand—and hold it until they understand it. She walks early and never stops, trailing her father through the barley rows, squatting to turn over stones, her fingers always in the dirt. She trusts adults the way a dog trusts weather: completely, but watchfully. When she is tired, she hums a three-note tune no one can place. She wants to see what lies beyond the north gate, though she knows better than to ask aloud. The town notes her quietness, and how she sometimes stops mid-step, listening to nothing. They say she has her mother’s patience. They do not say what she repeats at dawn, in a voice too flat for a child’s: *the fog is just fog.*
Temperament
Curious to a fault; trusting, within reason; hard to anger; always in company; never still.
What people say
Abigail Sharon believes what everyone believes: the fog is the edge of the world, and the fields need working whether it is true or not.
The dream
