Today's drabble is for
Ulupi swims upstream when she’s young, past the glimmering cities of Pataliputra and Kashi and Prayag, into the frozen fastnesses of the Himalayas. This far north the river speaks with a maiden’s voice that thrums in her blood and lulls her to sleep, snake-curled in her den, her heart beating slow.
