Daily Dose
From Empty Streets, by Michal Ajvas, translated by Andrew Oakland
FROM
"'From the moment I set out to find you, I've become enmeshed in so many stories,' I continued. 'I've learned about pirates, monsters living in underground lakes, prophets of strange sects, inventors of the typewriter, mysterious books, evil women who change into piles of waste paper, underwater statues, South American beautiful women terrorists, and men learned in bizarre sciences. I'd begun to believe you didn't exist.'"
From Part Two, Chapter Two
