DOE
by J.S.A. Lowe
Book 3 of the Particle Series
DOE takes the world as through a magnifying glass: the insect wing of the world. If love were a home, and the tiny exchanges or passings-barely-by, or the word behind the thing? And then behind that?

CHAPTER ONE
In Which They Become Their Objects
HE HEWS FURNITURE, known of fallen old growth, trunks and limbs unrecognizable when planed to chair arm, table top, head board, bed stead. It can withstand my sturdy tantrums; my throwing it around, or myself. And he would have me think him simple, in a gray woollen shirt with a week’s stubble, my collie, but I’m not that simple too and am no war hero, no general, no schoolmarm nor schoolchild, nor fancy piece nor a priest. Though I might on occasion wear a dyed silk dress decorated with glass beads, and resemble a lampshade, incandescing from within its skin-hot fragility.
