Aviary dreams

the bird surrenders to.

The cat draws nearer.

EXTREMELY LOUD & INCREDIBLY CLOSE | jonathan safran foer

LIGHTHOUSEKEEPING | jeanette winterson

i said to the assistant, ’i can’t afford to buy it and i can’t bear to leave it. but i love it.’

THE TRAP | franz kafka

"alas" said the mouse, "the world is growing smaller every day. at the beginning it was so big that i was afraid, i kept running and running, and i was glad when at last i saw walls far away to the right and left, but these long walls have narrowed so quickly that i am in the last chamber already, and there in the corner stands the trap that i must run into." "you only need to change your direction," said the cat, and ate it up.
