The Culling

The Culling

 

                “The One has decreed a Culling.”

                “Our assemblage has not performed one before; is it The Time?”

                “No, The One has not announced The Great Time but emphasized all assemblages must appreciate the intricacies of The Culling before The Great Time occurs.”

                “When is our Culling?”

                “The One will inform us of our particular Culling, and Xe expressly instructed me that The Culling must take place the instant there is no contact beyond the Culled husk.”

                “I understand. The husk�"what must we do with the hard protective husk after the Culling?”

                “Xe instructed me on proper husk disposal so no trace remains.”
