The most unrealistic thing about The Shining is that whenever Jack tells someone he’s a writer, they don’t ask “What genre?”

We're lucky to have in this issue two miniatures from @addisonzeller.bsky.social, although as often is the case with Zeller, "miniature" is a deceptive descriptor. These efficent stories, like Borges', are denser and more multitudinous than the longest novels.

I never write anything without a very clear idea of what it means to me. Which isn’t the same thing as saying “There’s a definitive answer embedded here that everyone should be on the same page about.” I’m not writing math equations.

"They are first seen, despite the general darkness, close to the window, from which they draw back prudently..." is a great way to open on the Adam and Eve stuff in Genesis, a reading that (sorry Addison?) the rest of this lovely piece endlessly rewards.
