    In this scene - Lucy decides whether to go on, or back to the rock.

    Chapter 1 Scene 9 The Rock

    This is a short scene introducing the title character, the Rock, who is, literally, a rock. A rock with a rich internal life and some interesting skills that are key to the story. When I say the Rock, in this segment, think of the word ‘rock’ to be capitalized, like a name. The Rock would scoff at such fine niceties, but would appreciate the affection behind them. I have always been an animist, a word the Cambridge English Dictionary defines as “a person who believes all natural things, such as plants, animals, rocks, and thunder, have spirits and can influence human events”. When I was little this looked like talking to trees and rocks. As an adult, it looks like respecting the natural world and writing stories with main characters who are rocks. Animism is part of many faiths and spiritualities including Indigenous North American spiritualities, Aboriginal Austrailian spiritualities, West African traditional religions, Siberian Shamanism, Shinto, Balinese Hinduism, Druidry and my own faith (and that of Lucy) which is part of modern Paganism. * Permission is expressely forbidden to use any of my voice recordings or content anywhere, but including the recording and content on this page, to train artificial intelligence, or to publish it in any format in whole or part elsewhere without my express and informed consent.

    Chapter 1 Scene 8 Rosemary Explains the Sitch

    In this scene Lucy enters the culture of the future, and learns about what is going on with the rock people from a very very old woman. When I wrote it, I wanted to get my head around what it would be in a future where women’s oppression seemed like a quaint old custom, and where natural building was normalized.

    Chapter 1 Scene 6 Part 2 People of the Rock

    Where the heck is Lucy? No one wants to know more than she does. Following Marija down the path reminds her of some spicy and non-spicy paths she’s followed a beautiful woman down before. (This episode is lightly spiced).

    Chapter 1 scene 6 first half

    This is one of my favourite scenes from the book - where Lucy emerges in the future, naked and feeling good, and has a happy, sensual moment in the forest before being discovered by a beautiful stranger. We all emerge naked into our future don’t we? Reborn? I stopped mid-way because it’s a very long scene. I mispronounced Marija’s name for some reason. It’s not Maria, but MarEE - dja. Sorry, I’ll do better in future. The rest was so perfect I couldn’t bear to re-record it. Recording copyright (C) Sophia Kelly 2026, all rights reserved. No AI use or training permitted.

    Chapter 1 Scene 5 the equation of Dirac - People of the Rock

    This recording is really short - but the concept is important to understanding the recurring themes of interconnection at a distance between different people, different times, different events throughout the book. Once connected, even separated, there is a mystical, scientific, or quantum mechanical way that things are entwined, entangled with one another. I do not claim to have written this meme, for which I did not find an author, but here is a representation of the equation (the Equado de Dirac means Equation of Dirac). I don’t have the source for either of the following memes, unfortunately. Memes about this equation are very prolific.
