9am and on. The leaves the gooses and the rain. Wiping age-old dust off furniture, books, records. Wondering whether some old spirit is in between all these things and whether it should be reconnected to - or rather avoided.
Was von der Nacht liegenblieb: Ein Origami-Schwan auf faltigem Tischtuch. Ein geöffnetes Buch, Hochglanzfotos und verlorene Orte. Blumen in den Bildern, Blumen im Keramikkrug mit den blauen Ornamenten. Und die schöne Vorstellung, dass Geschichten auch leben durch das Gefühl des schweren Papiers unter den Händen, den Duft von Druck, Farbe und Bindung, die räumliche Begrenztheit im Eigenleben unsortierter Regale. (Abwegigkeiten. Früh, in den Stunden, bevor alles wieder erwacht. Früh, vor dem ersten Kaffee und dem gewohnten Weg. Habt es mild heute!)

"Content should be non-discriminatory, polite and relevant. Announcements should be 100 to 200 words, shorter if possible. Book reviews, essays and stories should be at the very most 500 words, poems up to 30 lines.
Author bios should be about 50 words, and if possible include a web address."

My writers' group reviewed the seventh and last of the #stories in my 'story cycle', a set of stories in what I describe as a low-magic #fantasy world (which became increasingly #queer as I went). It's a chunky one, much longer than the previous six. Most of them wanted me to write more, possibly turning this story into a novel. I don't think so. The stories all together are meant to form a novella.
Still, it's good to be appreciated and receive constructive feedback, and I was congratulated on finishing this project, even if there's still a fair amount of editing to do. It feels good. After all, I wrote the first story more than ten years ago, when two friends and I formed a small writing group. I picked the up the writing during lockdown and it's finally getting there.
Waldwärts. Große Höfe, niedrige Dächer, ebensolche Fenster im alten, vorsichtig sanierten Fachwerk. Man kennt die Einwohner, sieht keine Gesichter, weiß nicht, ob die Gardinen im Windhauch schwingen oder unter der Berührung, der man auch die gefühlten, beobachtenden, messenden Blicke zuschreibt. Auf dem Beton der Einfahrt liegen bunte Blütenblätter, die Sträucher tragen Osterschmuck. Aber die Zäune werden höher, die wachsamen Hunde größer und lauter. Eindrücke bleiben, setzen sich fest, und man versucht nicht allzu offensichtlich Notiz zu nehmen, zieht weiter, bis die Füße auf weiches Laub treten und die eigenen Schritte verstummen.

An Ancient Human #Story About The Seven Sisters May Have Survived 100,000 years
In the northern hemisphere from October to March, you can look up and see the Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters. These stars, like so many others, have #myths attached to them by ancient cultures around the world.
In Greek mythology, the Seven Sisters were the daughters of Atlas and Pleione. Their father, Atlas, was forced to hold up the sky, and was therefore unable to protect his daughters. But to save them from being raped by Orion the hunter, Zeus transformed them into stars.
Indigenous Australian versions of the tale, meanwhile, tell similar #stories of a hunter or young man who try and chase the female Pleiades.
Is it possible the stories of the Seven Sisters and Orion are so old our ancestors were telling these stories to each other around campfires in Africa, 100,000 years ago?

Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot.
Neil Gaiman (b. 1960) British fabulist
