The Midway Creatures
Paper 77This page reads 77:2 to 77:5, the history the text tells through places and time; the rest of Paper 77 is read on the details companion. The map rests through 77:2 and begins at Dilmun (77:3.1). The lamp needle on the time ribbon is the story's present: the coasts and ice on the map are those of that moment. When the text looks back or tells ahead, the needle stays, and a hollow ring marks the passage's own time.
