The Next Village

The Next Village
Franz Kafka

My grandfather used to say: "Life is astoundingly short. To me, looking back over it, life seems so foreshortened that I scarcely understand, for instance, how a young man can decide to ride over to the next village without being afraid that--not to mention accidents--even the span of a normal happy life may fall far short of the time needed for such a journey."

A new story online

It's called "Creep" and it's at Literary Orphans.

This one is at least 40% true. I will tell you which 40% if you want to know.

It's nice that Literary Orphans pairs photos with the stories. This is the first time a story of mine has been illustrated since the Stone Soup story which I illustrated myself at age 13.
