Twenty-Cent Coin

(Text by Cosimo Suglia) Diversity is the appreciation of differences — it makes us, us. Look down. Past the generated clouds, sliding on the olympic-blue sky. Past the mammoth trees and coral-dressed skyscrapers. Away from the docks, where fish farmers feed their crops. Slight waves slap against bio-concrete jetties. The rabbit man walks on water. … Read more

Give Time time

(Text by Otilia Dragan) Time visited me today again, during work. She sat on my lap, her long, flimsy fingers playing  with a wavy patch of my hair and made me sway along with her in my office chair. “Time, come on, I told you to stop showing up like this. How am I supposed … Read more

The engineer

(Text by Patrick Vedie) “A very long time ago, I made up a universe, all by myself.

The Dryness of Being

(Text by Pierre Feltz) Peter is nervous and something deep seated is bothering him tonight. Peter is laying in his bed and, as it is most nights, he scratches his dry scalp and combs through his unkempt, brown hair with his bloody, dry-skin hands. Despite the redness, and irritated nature of his skin, and, the … Read more

Aus dem Schiffsbuch der Salteema

(Text by Luc François) Salteema Schiffsbuch-Eintrag 2486 Ich habe die Stille zwischen den Sternen nie recht ertragen.
