Edges

They could be found on boundaries. When the day was giving way to night, where the sea met the land, when summer was turning to fall, that's when they were strongest, when things weren't quite one, nor the other.


Most of the time, they just moved things, brought stones into piles, strip leaves off trees, and the like.


Most of the time.


But when everything was on a knife-edge, when so many boundaries were aligned, then they could do real harm. Or, incredible generosity.


Neither one thing nor the other, but a balance between the two.


They're charging up now.
