    Short and Surprising

    Published:

    Modified:

    First thoughts I love reading short stories. I always did. But I love writing long stories. A paradox!

    Published:

    Modified:

    An easy jump. I let the train drag me down into the tunnel and out on the other side. “Welcome to the other side!” — a man looks straight through me, greeting someone behind me. Walking between thousands in the park. Nobody gives way, nobody looks at me. Nobody sees me. Opposites rule. People looking left but […]

    Modified:

    Too many facts. And they are mostly fake. Mostly misguiding you. Too much scientific thinking. And it is mostly wrong. Mostly betraying you. Too little real in the reality, too little true in the truth. Make a shift, make a world, make it real, make it yours. Fictitious is the new fact Make it up to […]

    What a spectacle! The calming and relaxing atmosphere on the beach was interrupted by a dragon eating a building. On such a Tuesday morning during the fall, the beach wasn’t very populated.

    Listen! – said Anna. They both listened for a while with fascination. It was raining, but not with water. They were in the park of the castle. A quiet place with many big old oaks, and it was obviously this time of the year – the acorns were falling from the trees like rain over […]

    Published:

    Since Gutenberg, we have had printed books around. In the beginning, these were mostly bibles, then came other types, and during the Age of Enlightenment, publishing went up to speed with lots of both scientific and fictional books.

    This is absolutely wonderful! – Anna inhaled another long view over the park with her mind. So many great things happening inside of her that she didn’t know how to express it all.

    Our famous neighbors from previous posts are busy these days with shopping, partying, and helping people around them.

    Autumn will soon arrive in the North, spring in the South. And large parts of the world have a different rhythm altogether. But there is a rhythm. Nature moves fast forward, and still, it returns to where it was, more or less, again and again. Does it count for everything? Well, in nature, it does, […]
