He carries a sack of spores that holds the key to their future.
Artur was an Itinerate. He traveled the slow-moving day-night interface of Neuen, from pole to pole, stopping at every nomadic settlement along the way. This was his tour, consuming three years of his life.
He monitored the marred genomes of the Reisende, the people exiled from the polar cities ages ago. He felt more like their jailer than their savior. Maybe that was why he had to leave.
Artur still travels the day-night interface, but this time is different. This time he isn't following the pre-planned route. Someone is trailing him, no doubt sent by those he once served. Itinerates must complete their tour. To do otherwise is to go Rogue.
Artur is a Rogue Itinerate, but he doesn't wander aimlessly. He carries a sack that holds the key to the future, for his people and those they subjugate. Can he do what he set out to before his fate catches up to him?
"Rogue" is a companion short story to Neuen.
