LAST STORIES............................................................Call for Submissions
Mostly it seems they're all we have, really. After the `procession of priests'
(theoria) has precessed past our increasingly narrow attention span; after
the bombs have dropped (and before, for that matter); when the guy in the
ape suit is throwing the bone up in `2001' (goodbye Stanley) and when we
catch it in the hear, and gnaw, we who live in the future, on those bones,
those very ancient lineaments, we who are sighting along the `scope hairs,
looking for the next target of acquisition...well, stories are what we started
with and stories are what we still have.
But just to make it a little more focused and to satisfy our own need for
eschatology (both singular and global): why don't we say that we only have
a limited amount of time to live (after all is said and done, this may come
of news to some of us) or that the Third Millennium will come a cropper
and leave us poor humans face down (of course, no one really believes that...but
we're telling stories remember?)
Pehaps you have a last will and testiment you would like to send us, or
a death bed confession, or a lie you can't stop believing in but will be
glad when it's all over, or that peculiar need to expose yourself, whistleblow
on yourself, that often attacks those at the end.
Or maybe you have a happy story of the end/End wherein your life flashes
before you (and hence us since you will send it to us) and it was a photo
finish, but a good one nevertheless, set'm up Finnegan; or the species rounds
the corner finally into its Golden Dawn, every Thing finds its place, the
animals speak...
Personal stories, theoretical stories, eschatological fairy tales, lies,
fables, happy endings, tragic endings, tales with nothing but pictures for
those of us who find it increasingly hard to read here in the future and
thus closer to the end....
send them all to us.
while there's still some time left.
