My short story “Liebesbrief an Jemanden” (engl.: “Love Letter to Someone”) was published under the pseudonym KC Osvici in Schredder #5, “Zukunft anlocken” (engl.: “Attracting the Future”).
Who lures tempts – and life tempts, seduces, demands all the time: new flesh on old bodies or technical enhancements on outdated bodies?
After circling the sidings, we start thinking seriously about the future:
Is being there really everything?
We want to envision the future.
We want to attract the future.
But how?
Do we lay out breadcrumbs and get frightened by the pecking beaks of monstrous birds?
Do we climb mountains and await the future in the twilight as it creeps over crevices? Do we just wait or do we draw the future towards us? And then?
What will change life, body, togetherness?
Biology, technology or chemistry? Or rather ideas? What new concepts of life and narrative forms can be attracted?
Is cyborgization as a provision for old age an alternative to the mushroom farm?
Who will feed the fridge in the future, what can be made from mold? In any case, I’m saving the titanium plate in my shoulder.
