#1280² SHORT STORIES² – S2 E11 – SOME CALL HIM MR MILLER
It’s not that he cared, even though it was technically his job. Over the years he developed a tendency to become unreliable, or how they put it, funny. It was his direct approach, the open speech, the cold heartedness. They knew what they had, what they have and what they…

#1247² SHORT STORIES² – S2 E9 – CALENDAR
It’s hanging off the wall. Twelve papers a piece. Twelve papers and a fat carton at the back. It always has it. This grayish thing. It comes with the price. It comes in handy. It stiffens up the package, you know? The carton is for free, the carton and the…

#1193² SHORT STORIES² – S2 E5 – A MORNING SCENE
Cold, fog, low visibility, not enough sunlight to see. The birds are singing. The window is open. The glass turns transparent again. You should close it. No, actually you should. It’s way too cold. It’s autumn, but a cold day in autumn. You woke up early, too early. You can…

#1180² SHORT STORIES² – S2 E4 – BEHIND THE CURTAIN
It’s not a part of the show, it covers the show. It prevents us from seeing behind. It filters out what is not meant to be seen. It’s a piece of fabric, soft, smelly, probably a bit dusty. Honestly, it’s just hanging around. What happens behind stays behind. We can…
