Lost at Sea
August 5, 1885 My closest companion of countless years has perished and moved on from this plane of existence; it bereaves the better sensibilities from my body, leaving only the soulless shell of a man.

Blood is on my hands; they are the hands of an enemy, for no longer can I view the friendship of old in good repute.

The Task of the Blade
The apron holds all the tools of her trade: permanent marker, thermometer, quenelle spoon, and blade. Of all, she needs the blade the most. Wusthof steel, the length of her hand. She keeps the edge honed, sharp, ready for every task Chef hands her. All day long, she peels apples, supremes oranges, makes even cubes of soft pear flesh, and carves long, curled rosettes of butter. Her hands, fast and sure, never tremble, rarely err.

Jana. Content Warning.
"Why must the sun be so hot?" asks Chebu. Our bare arms weep from the sun's relentless rays every second we spend here. Sweat pools on my forehead and flows down my face. The corners of my eyes burn.
