The living story
The story so far
Ballast sailed as a sailor's pet and retired as a legend. He wheeks in four languages and the pups gather every dusk to hear about the albatross — the story gets better every telling, and Ballast's eyes get further away. The sea is in him still. On storm nights he stands at the burrow mouth, smelling the rain, and smiles like a much younger rat.

The Deep Time
Walking history, gentle as weather: Josepho’s million-year footsteps, Castoroides’s river-moving dams, the Horned One’s magnificent unexplained horns, and the Giant Hutia, who carried lost pups home on her back.
