Shoreline District

Shoreline District
The district of glowing water...

“The phosphorescent sand beach of the minor Shoreline District welcomed their small craft with the gentle swish of a thousand years’ crushed shells against its water-worn wood keel. They waded onto the glowing beach, and Hamm sent the boy up the bank to scan for lookout fires while they shoved the pilfered boat back into Boundary Bay and abandoned it to the tide.”

“They entered the city from the south on Shoreline District beaches by way of a peninsula known as the Devil’s Cock, beyond the towering white cliffs. The Shoreline and Foothills Districts through which they hiked to circumnavigate the Cliffs District had a different feel than the densely populated streets of central Filth. Dirt roads. No cobbles. The thatch-roofed homes were set apart from each other, with white wisps curling up from tehir smoke-holes to streak the moon with hazy lines, turning its silver surface to a wrinkled old man’s face frowning down at Flora’s follies. There were animals, but only subsistence livestock—milkers, laying hens, sheering sheep—all of them closely guarded.”

Quotes
“Sturdy farm boys stood sentry with axes or bows outside of barns or sat on rooftops to watch for foxes and common thieves a testament to the lean times. Hamm narrated their journey, explaining that the herds of years past were empty fields now—all the animals meant for eating had been sold off in Filth as shortages strangled the city.”
