The Travels of Anadrasata Nearabhigan: Day 55

So, here we are on Day 55 of Anadrasata's travels. Matters develop, some in a good way and some, it seems in a concerning way.

Next point of view character I write needs to use "apparently" less.  To be fair, Anadrasata uses it as an indicator that she does not know the information directly, so it represents various versions of "reportedly", "allegedly", and "I was told."  It is also worth noting that she is not writing for public consumption.

This piece runs to 2,881 words and I hope that you enjoy it.
