Résumé

Early one March, a king marched to his sacrificial death on a bog in the middle of Ireland. Thousands of years later, his body is uncovered by an environmentalist volunteering to help re-wet the bog. The disrupted narrative style reflects the conflicting impulses of the narrator: preserve the bog, or preserve history. The bog's complex role in ecological stability can only be ensured by re-wetting, but the bog-body is a rich and revealing archaeological discovery. This story has also been published in the collection Fluctuation in Disorder.
