Branch

One day a week with no screen in it.

A fork of the Quiet Hour that lost patience with the hour. Where the Order keeps sixty minutes, the Sabbath keeps a day: sundown to sundown, nothing that glows. It borrowed the shape of a practice older than any of its members and is honest about the borrowing.
