Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)

Here it is, the final piece of three: Das Treiben des Essens. The powerful story of one sole man’s shoe and one shoe sole’s man, thrivingly intertwined in the warm world of a dark-dark ballroom. Don’t let it drive you mad, don’t let it in, but be polite, do yourself a favor and offer your sincere sympathy to the deadly evil in that very shoe’s possession.

This is, finally, the second piece of the Three Pieces of Three trilogy: Lauf des Lebens. I wrote this short story two years ago on February 12, 2006. It was a rainy day and cold outside, I still remember, and I was in a lovely mood.

The last piece is set to be available to you on the first day of March 2008. This I can reveal already: It is the twisted story of one man’s shoe and one shoe’s man, thrivingly intertwined in the warm world of a dark-dark ballroom.

This is the first of three pieces of a trilogy I wrote over the past two years. The first two stories, including this very short one, were written at the beginning of January 2006. In fact, I wrote Die Spielstraße exactly two years ago on Jan 23, 2006. I didn’t really intend to publish the three stories as a trilogy, but I somehow felt they belonged to each other. They’re not connected by the same story. Somehow, though, they might share a similar topic, deep in, somewhere to be found.

I’ll publish a new short story on Sunday. Here’s a preview for my fans, I know there are thousands of them:
Was ich mit „ansehnlich“ meine, lässt sich gut mit einer Zahl beschreiben: Andrias war über einen Meter lang und gehörte damit zu den stattlicheren Vertretern seiner weitläufigen Gattung.

Next project of mine. Can’t say anything about it, yet… But: Can you imagine any possible interconnections between echoes and the year 2001? Well, I found out all about it and I’ll cover it for you. Just not yet. But if you have an idea already, feel free to drop me an email at D (at) SMOKYGLASS (dot) COM.
