For all you shatter is our seeming, And in breaking we are free

I really should stop posting openings of stuff that I don't plan on picking up for ages. But at least if I post them, I can go back to them, instead of letting them moulder on my harddrive. So, forgive me. Only a teaser, with the main event a long way off.

Advice welcomed, by the by. Especially as regards the history.
