Fishing in the land of paper and tears

The Constellation of reclining stars
(or alternative title – The Constellation of Shifting Turtles). Either way, day 19 of #NaPoWriMo2021, and the last of the hybrid zodiacs (there are now 12) – although I’ll have editing work to do tidying up the draftier drafts.
