Complex stone-age society, stone gods, complex families, finding your place. Just how did they get a multi-ton stone from Scotland to Stonehenge in 2600 BC?

See a vibrant Neolithic world full of connections and gods and complex culture, and two young people travelling across it to try and save what they love and find a place they fit. beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/brin...

Good news! We hit our goal last week! Bad news: Patreon subscriptions fluctuate, and... we have now un-hit our goal. That means we only have two weeks to find eight new $2/month subscribers. If you've loved anything we published this year, help us spread the word? 💜 www.patreon.com/cw/Otherside...

A story we liked so much that, despite already having decided on the ten we wanted, we bought it as well. That's right... this issue goes to eleven!

Mine were all partially erupted, the gums got infected over them over Christmas break, my freshman year of college, Ithink. Had to have them pulled as emergency surgery, so no general anaesthesia, just lidocaine, laughing gas, and the surgery pliers. Honestly super enjoyable with the gas.

Rive doesn't fit at home, he stutters speaking to a crowd, but when a young traveler comes from the south asking for a god to take home, he thinks he can help them and himself, and do something no one in the isles has done for centuries: carve new god from the stone.

Weft wants to save the ancient gathering place and festival they were raised in, and the only way may be to travel farther into the north than they have ever imagined, where gods of stone are said to speak.
