Maakhiria
A godforsaken wasteland up north where the Horners live like feral animals, barely human and mostly mad. It stretches from HY and Garabsare on the west to Dhishiishe on the east, like a bad decision that won’t quit.
My cousin lives in Maakhiria. He thinks the sky is a ceiling.
I was born in Maakhiria. I don’t know why I’m still alive.
Maakhiria is where my grandfather went to die. He didn’t come back.
