I went into the neighborhood novelty store that had opened a few days ago.
“Can I help you?”
“I’m looking for some novelties. Nothing specific.”
“I’ll be glad to show you some of our novelties. Are you more interested in classic or the latest novelties? We have new and used.”
“Only the most novel novelties, please. Used only if [...]

Evasions

I know I’ve been there, but when and where?
Tanks are rolling across a much too narrow old bridge, pieces of concrete are dropping into the river, also round pieces of dried moss. The greyed wooden railing fractures. Somewhere near the Dinarian border.
In another country, in another time a dune, and hidden behind this dune figures [...]
Who else I might have been

Without any pain, I separated into two. I was in both of them; from one I looked my other I in the eye. We both looked at each other calmly from our blue eyes for a moment but then knew that we had to go on with our lives. One of me turned around and [...]

Apartments … time … fate

This apartment is where it began, perhaps …
It’s in one of these now …
And it might be here in the future …
… but there was hardly anything numb in between.
Not that we can recall.
– Niebla
Written using the words apartment, numb and began from 3 Word Wednesday.
A Trip to Ruby City

When we finally arrived in Ruby City, the ruby-red sunset was upon us. One of the citizens, steeped in the ruby-red light of the passing day, showed us the way to the Ruby Hotel, the only one in town.
We found out that same evening that everything edible and potable in Ruby City was ruby-red.
In fact, [...]
Kindness and rock’n roll

When I visited One Single Impression today and saw the “kindness” prompt, I immediately thought of this Richard Thompson song. It is actually a hard-hitting, rocky number. But kindness doesn’t necessarily have to be meek and mild, does it?
Hand of kindness
Well I wove the rope
And I picked the spot
Well I stuck out my [...]

A magnificent edifice

it was to be, reaching sky-high,
blazing in whiteness,
illuminated by an everlasting
orange sun
But it turned out to be rest,
a small body in white resting
on the concrete sidewalk,
twice on consecutive days
in the orange rising sun,
to then travel on modestly
– Niebla ( © 2008 )
Written in response to Three Word Wednesday #VXXVI – rest, sidewalk, twice
