I love the unexpected way this goes, yet still tying back to the first half so well. Moloch being slang for a tyrant, who resents being seen that way, is a brilliant touch. And the seeds, and the parallels between the plant in the desert, and the spread of ideas, the rise of resistance. Beautifully woven. it works like a well encapsulated snapshot, that does leave me wondering what happens next, more about the world this is set in, but has the same feeling as a photo, complete in what it is, although you may not know the whole story.
