Following the stream of consciousness technique and embedded in dream allegory, Moirae depicts human predicament exploring notions of fate and religion. Set in a fantasy land, called the Lost Winds, on a planet with two moons, this story is about human oppression under a tyrannical regime which calls itself democratic. Much like our planet earth, people flee to seek protection in a place called Draviland, a long way away from the Lost Winds. Dramas pertaining to such human conditions often appear in the main character's lucid dreams which she dreams knitting in a pink honeycomb pattern. This metaphor is used to construe self-organized behavior among men, herding as they try to escape from persecution.
