(Text by Cosimo Suglia)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Note: <\/strong>The following text first appeared in a literary zine by our editor Cosimo Suglia. It was a special-made zine for the Luxembourgish book fair <\/em>Walfer Bicherdeeg 2022 — the concept and main theme of the zine is simple: <\/em>4OUR<\/strong>. There are four stories<\/strong> in the zine, two in English and two in Luxembourgish. There are four acts<\/strong> to each story. And, lastly, the stories were written four you<\/strong>. In the span of the next weeks, the stories will be published here on <\/em>Aner <\/strong>Welten<\/strong>. <\/strong>The idea behind the zine, was to introduce the local reading community to alternative ways of publishing literature. We thus highly encourage others to research what zines are and perhaps emulate our effort!<\/em><\/p>\n

Four a future full of literature and art. Four a future full of speculative fiction. Four a future full of zines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nodeems den Albrecht d’Holzk\u00ebscht opsp\u00e4ert, sprengt eraus e Wiesen, wat den Albrecht just als Hues ka beschreiwen.<\/p>\n

Obwuel, net s\u00e9cher, hie mengt, dass eppes um V\u00e9i him komesch virk\u00ebnnt. D’Fell war gro, w\u00e9i d’Faarf vun engem Fiels, naass mat der Fiichtegkeet vun der Nuecht. An d’Aen ware g\u00ebllen, w\u00e9i d’Kroun vum Sonnekinnek.<\/p>\n

Den Hues, \u00e9ier dass en den Atelier verl\u00e9isst, dr\u00e9it sech \u00ebm a b\u00e4isst sech selwer an d’Patt. D\u00e9i rechteckeg Z\u00e4nn schneiden duerch d’Fell a Fleesch. Esou einfach. G\u00ebllent Blutt leeft him d’Patt erof. Dr\u00ebpst op de Buedem.<\/p>\n

Den Albrecht laacht, bis d’W\u00e9nkele vu sengem Mond seng Oueren upaken. Seng Neel doen him w\u00e9i. Hien h\u00eblt e Pinsel an e Kader. Hie stellt sech niewent d’g\u00eblle Blutt vum Hues. Mam Fanger geet hien duerch d’Blutt. Et bl\u00e9ift op senge Fangersp\u00ebtze pechen, bis, nodeems hien de Fanger diebelt, et dr\u00e9chent an a Flacken op de Buedem f\u00e4lt.<\/p>\n

Hierscht, denkt sech den Albrecht. Et ass d\u00e9i Z\u00e4it am Joer, wou hien sech am wuelste fillt. De Reen dauscht duerch d’Nuecht. D’Wolleke bemolen den Himmel. D’Sonn geheit komesch Schiet. Dat Gr\u00e9ngt schm\u00eblzt an de brongen Doud.<\/p>\n

Den Albrecht leckt d’Gold vu sengem Fanger of an denkt dob\u00e4i un de Goertz. An N\u00fcrnberg k\u00ebnnt Geld op d’Welt. An Italien richt et no Salz a Revolutioun.<\/p>\n

Den Albrecht hieft de Pinsel un.<\/p>\n

Den Henker, do \u00ebnne beim Floss am Henkershaus, hieft d’Aaxt un.<\/p>\n

Dem Hues g\u00ebtt de Kapp ofgeschnidden.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

II.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dem Engel Melencolia feelt d’Z\u00e4it.<\/p>\n

Hei, an der \u00c9iwegkeet, g\u00ebtt n\u00e4ischt al. De Ball rullt op der Plaz. D’See seet villes an n\u00e4ischt; keng Z\u00e4it, well se huet d’Z\u00e4nn voll mat Bam an Holz. Den Hond schl\u00e9ift s\u00e4it \u221e.<\/p>\n

Den Albrecht zeechent.<\/p>\n

“Mol mech,” sot d’Melencolia him.<\/p>\n

“Bas du en Hues?” freet den Albrecht.<\/p>\n

D’Flilleke vun der Melencolia sinn net gro oder g\u00ebllen, mee m\u00e9i. Se si w\u00e9i d’Flilleke vun engem Bloe Rackert. D\u00e9i Plommen um Kierper, d\u00e9i sech g\u00e9int R\u00e9ck a Broscht dr\u00e9cken, si brong an donkelrout, w\u00e9i d’Hierschtblieder, d\u00e9i am September duerch den Dall schwammen. D\u00e9i kleng Plommen, d\u00e9i sech g\u00e9int d’Haut t\u00e4sselen si Molbieren a Salbei, wat sech streckt a streckt, bis et B\u00ebsch ass, an \u00ebnnen, bei de laange Plommen, g\u00ebtt een de B\u00ebsch einfach net lass, well et endegt an engem donkele Floss, wou d’D\u00e9iften dech erofr\u00e4issen, op deng Siicht an Ae b\u00e4issen, bis dat D\u00e4ischtert alles g\u00ebtt wat s de jeemools kannt hues.<\/p>\n

An d\u00e4rbaants den Albrecht zeechent, mat all str\u00e9ilen, kann d’Melencolia am Hannergrond h\u00e9ieren, w\u00e9i d’Sandk\u00e4re falen.<\/p>\n

“Bass du d’\u00c9iwegkeet?” ass wat d’Melencolia den Albrecht freet.<\/p>\n

“Ech si K\u00ebnschtler,” ass wat hie seet.<\/p>\n

“Nee, du bass Hues,” ass wat d’Melencolia fest gleeft.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

III.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dem Kiewerker seng Zaange gesinn aus w\u00e9i d’Schw\u00e4nz vu Walen. Hire schwaarze Kierper kontrast\u00e9iert d\u2019Wolleke vun Hielenter, d\u00e9i nach net ganz an der Bl\u00e9i sinn. Den Albrecht nennt se Rhinozerossen. Hie f\u00e4nkt der an zermuelt hire Kierper fir Faarf.<\/p>\n

Liewen opfere fir d’Konscht. Konscht maache fir ze liewen.<\/p>\n

Iergendwou, net w\u00e4it wech vum Albrecht, s\u00ebtze kl\u00e9ng Meeschteren a krazen an d’Holz. Se lauschteren dem Holz no. Fueren dem K\u00e4r no, mat der Sp\u00ebtz vun hirem Geschier, bis e Bild entsteet. En Ofdrock vun eiser Realit\u00e9it. D’Natur zu eisem Virbild \u00ebmformen, bis d’Melencolia hinnen an d’Ae kuckt, hir Nimm rifft. Konstant. \u00cbmmer er\u00ebm. Bis e Sonneblummefeld se deet d’Ouer ofzeschneiden. Well se k\u00ebnnen a w\u00ebllen hire Numm net m\u00e9i h\u00e9ieren. Er\u00ebnnerungen un d’Vergaangenheet, un hirer Existenz, d\u00e9i se sichen a sichen, mee net fannen.<\/p>\n

Den \u00e9iwege Luef.<\/p>\n

Mee d’Sich nom \u00e9iwege Gruef.<\/p>\n

D’Konscht l\u00e4it verstoppt an der Liederhaut vun engem Rhinozeros, seet den Albrecht.<\/p>\n

D’Melencolia ass net averstanen.<\/p>\n

Well fir hatt, l\u00e4it d’Konscht an der \u00c9iwegkeet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

IV.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Den Albrecht ass dout.<\/p>\n

Am Duerf l\u00e4it de Kierper vun engem Hues. Grouss, w\u00e9i e Faass. Mat Fielsefell a Krounenaen. De Kierper schm\u00eblzt um Pawee viru sech hin. D’Aen, fiicht vun der Middegkeet; vum leschte Moment, kucken an den Himmel. D\u2019Blo Rackerten \u00ebmkreesen d’Maartplaz zu N\u00fcrnberg. D’kl\u00e9ng Meeschtere friessen d’Kiewerker vun den Hielenter.<\/p>\n

D’Melencolia kr\u00e4ischt g\u00ebllent Blutt.<\/p>\n

Den Henker sez\u00e9iert den Hues. Verdeelt d’Fleesch un d’Duerf, d\u00e9i sech Wochen a Wochen de Mo vollfriessen, bis se net m\u00e9i k\u00ebnnen, bis se den Henker bieden eppes aneres op den Teller ze br\u00e9ngen, mee den Henker, stuer w\u00e9i hien ass, verdeelt weider den Hues. Dat ass seng Konscht. Seng Liewensaufgab, d\u00e9i hien einfach net opgi kann. Hien ass dem Kinnek s\u00e4i Metzler.<\/p>\n

Mee d’Duerfbewunner k\u00ebnnen net m\u00e9i.<\/p>\n

Si kapitul\u00e9ieren a verwandelen sech an Huesen.<\/p>\n

Huesen, d\u00e9i g\u00ebllent Blutt sp\u00e4izen.<\/p>\n
