I have to agree with ships_harry ... this felt like a fantastically wonderful world that I could slip into, with beautiful details that transported me right to the scene in Egypt. (The line about the drink making Harry sweat from the inside was particularly visceral.) And then it stopped. I feel like I've read a travel brochure that's made me want to visit this place really, really badly. And I would love to see you write more in this 'verse later, if you want to revisit it, because I'd love to see what happens.
