Hmm. Okay. Here’s a part where I try to do somehing like preface what’re going to be a series of very short stories (10, I think, which translates to a solid 3 weeks worth of material which is, I think, not to be sniffed at, given my absence over the summertime) with something of an apology/explanation.
I had this small idea over the weekend of trying to write a sequence of geometrically inspired (very) short stories with themes of claustrophobia/agoraphobia (in, respectively, geometrical/incorrectly eometrical senses). Anyway, they’re definitely not toooooooo good, but, so far as I’ve thought of them, there’s a different phonomon at play in each one, so none of them will be entirely without meaning/point; but some are terribly weak.
As to why, this follows from a conversation that I had with someone last friday, with a mention (on my part) of this drawing by Fomenko,
,
one I am particularly fond of, depicting the contraction of a space onto a subspace of parallelepipeds in some intuitive/surreal way.

I don’t mean to be impatient, but when are you posting the short stories? :)
Ah hey. Yes; I actually had left it until I was in a night-train to thebes over christmas before writing them out long-hand. I’m actually not terribly fond of them (I wasn’t able to word a lot of them to my satisfaction, and, by the time I got around to writing them, I wasn’t able to acheive the style I wanted), which is why I’ve been postponing/giving up on the idea of putting them up, but…actually…have some free time now, might start transcribing the contents of my notebook…maybe there’ll be something up here before the weekend…but…maybe I am being overly optimistic.
