A short story by Michael Graeme - a twenty minute read: He scooped some water up and drank. It astonished him. It tasted like he imagined the most perfect water should taste, but it was a sensation spoiled by the queer fact that he wasn't thirsty even though he had walked for hours under a hot sun. "Perhaps we don't need food,... or water," he said. "Only when it pleases us." He looked around then at the land and he felt a chill. What manner of place was this? And what manner of being had he become?

This was a very original story. I enjoyed it a lot. I love the way the writer make us get to know the character in not many pages.
