Jagged-edged parchment lays compressed between two pieces of shark hide, bound together by a cord of the same grey hide.

Rejiek.
How odd that some memories surface with the most random of words spoken.
A man that has one leg can swim in only a circle, Elenoire declared. Of course, Rejiek had no legs, and he could swim just fine.
He was a fool, didn't know when to say no to a wager. It had been a few years since he lost his leg during an earthquake. One of the platforms shifted and it collapsed and mangled his knee and calf. Had to remove the whole thing once the infection set in. Then, after a long night of drinking, I bet him that he couldn't outrace a shark, an actual shark with fins and all, from Midnight beach to Boulder beach. Of course, the fool tried and lost his second leg.
Now I send his family enough plat to get by each cycle.
