School Curriculum Changes
History rewritten, the government jails those defying the vigil ban. The Fragrant Harbour wreaks with erasure, reeks of camphor-filled breaths subduing anything resembling a moth eating through organic coverings. Sew your mouths shut or we will. The leader suffers migraines; police launch smoke bombs. Students run backwards. A schoolboy disappears.
