The harvest wardens kept it on the rows to listen. It never barked. It lay with one ear flat to the mounds, and under the Rule of the Ground it could hear each grave lay down its band for the season. When a grave got loud, the dog sat on it and waited, and the wardens brought the paint. It called Gatefang a full season before the gatepost cracked. When its own time came it lay down in the far rows and stayed there. Nobody heard it coming back. The wardens painted a bloom on it for every grave it called.

Printed in four colors in a single build. The paint sits down in the layers, laid one band at a time the way the ground lays them.
