Lots of windows, doorways, streets, strangers, shadows, heads, light, nature.

Didn't get it mostly but nice.

Miracle, Shade and Image, Inner Motion, Fate Founders, How to Change.

"It was but a profile cast upon the wall. A shadow. We were outdoors and it was raining. We then caught sight of several stars mixed in with the rain and a small child extended its hand."

A new favorite. Recurring figures, compulsions, topologies: stumbling through sidewalks, unknown rooms, roads out into the country, forests full of creatures, rivers, mirrors, windows, circus acts. Amazingly consistent, especially considering this is an anthology designed to provide many alternate translation styles.
