From the Caves by Thea Prieto I can’t stay here, says Mark. The roots will burn, the drinking water needs to be jarred, then the fire — I’ll check the roots, says Sky, and he trots up the passage before Mark can stop him. Above, in the red firelight of the upper cave, the heat has grown to wringing, and Sky notices at once that Teller has moved. He has dragged himself closer to the fire, his ribs pumping fast from the effort. The hot touch of his skin stings Sky’s fingertips, but he still tugs Teller away from the fire, to where the warmth is drawn upward into the windy main passageway already lit gray with early morning. You’re going to hurt yourself, Sky says to Teller. Teller, heat-knocked and staring, does not answer. Try to rest, says Sky. Excerpt from "From the Caves". © 2021 Thea Prieto.
