The lowland meadow Genderless surrounds a placid lake. The emerald green grasses vibrate. The marine blue waters shimmer. The silver scaled fishes shine. They leap at dusk and dawn. The Genderless live in the lake and in modest huts in the grasses. They study the movements of fish. They walk the trail around the lake, hold hands, and talk over their ideas. “One day the ideas of the Genderless will be used to build great utopias,” They say.
Visitors to Genderless stumble upon the village.
Some decide to stay.
“It’s a quiet life, but fulfilling,” They say.
Attractive sits in the middle of Genderless Lake. The people flash their multicolored scales. When the Genderless need to reinvigorate their creativity they jump into Genderless Lake and swim down to the capitol. They become brilliant fish with enormous flowing fins, whiskers, and beautiful pearly eyes.
“You must become fish to visit it,” the Guide says, but only if asked.
Attractive keeps to itself. It eschews politics.
But a beacon beams travelers in and out of the capitol and anyone may use it.
“Everyone has a fish self,” says Miss Emeline Traveler.
