A Secondhand Dreaming

Tez and his girlfriend Mig watch in horror as the Old Man throws a newborn baby into the sea. Mig knows the children wrongly made must be destroyed so the god will return his power to the world. But Mig is approaching womanhood and she fears for the fate of her own babies.
Short-sighted but far-seeing, Tez has not time for gods of any kind. He and Mig set out for a derelict city seeking the source of the power that turns the lights on at night. If he can take this power to the Old Man, maybe Tez will be able to save Mig's babies from the sea.
