I mean, it's fanfic, but a share prompt is a share prompt...🙂

(Opening lines of "This Mortal Coil")
Opening lines if the fic "This Mortal Coil" Top of page is taken from Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1: "To die, to sleep; To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub. For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil." The opening line of the fic itself reads: "Argyle struggled over a stretch of broken granite, overgrown with brambles, slick with spring-fed rills trickling down sheer canyon walls. He squinted in the mist and fog, blown down from unseen heights on either side of the narrow defile."

Nextdoor:
Nuclear waste warning plaque, reads, "This place is not a place of honor, no highly-esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger. The danger is in a particular location. It increases towards a center. The center of danger is here, of a particular size and shape, and below us. The danger is still present in your time, as it was in ours. The danger is to the body, and it can kill. The form of the danger is an emanation of energy. The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited. Wase isolation pilot plant, Eddy County, New Mexico.
