Status Updates From Les étoiles sont légion

"When we met -- "
"No, " I say. "No more about the past. We're building the future now."

What if the narrator gets rid of the future tense too, as well as the past tense
😳

Mokshi.
Mokshi, Mokshi, Mokshi.
Why didn't the Mokshi kill her like it killed your sisters?
...assault the Mokshi, into the Mokshi, on the Mokshi, take the Mokshi, open the Mokshi, sabotage the Mokshi.

(McGuffin, McGuffin, McGuffin.)

Like Moscow in The Cherry Orchard.


Without telescopes, photography, books, libraries, do they even know if a Mokshi exists?

"I hold the arm in my hands, but it's attached to a woman who will crush me with it as surely as Anat would. While it was unattached, I had a chance. Now... Without the arm, I will never be able to get inside the Mokshi."

I understand these sentences, but w/o understanding the world or story, I couldn't have predicted them. They conjure up no suspense or emotions.
Words appear in the mist, replaced by more words.

Not another book all in present tense, please
