In the story
Entrances and exits, the burial
01
The place
A dark opening set high in a sheer limestone cliff, draped in vegetation, daylight flooding the lip. Caves like this pit the walls of the Sangkulirang karst. Liang Tebo, where the amputated skeleton was found, is one of them.
02
In the story
The threshold the band crosses to shelter and to keep the hurt out of the rain. It holds the burial at the end, and a hand pressed to the stone that the present-day frame reaches back through.
