You paint it like the dream sequences it came from, when freshly awakened. Eerie, other-worldly. Enjoyed much. Dorothee,

It looks like a plain and sparse story when you first read it and then after you finish, it sits with you. It doesn’t digest. You go back and read it again and then where there was once a minimal feel, now new colors and ideas come to mind. You realize it’s a trick. The story is not a puddle but a lake. It’s clean and bright and steaming like a bowl of rice. [...] [...] “Rice” is a piece by Dorothee Lang.
