This story is a contribution to the 14th STSC Symposium, a monthly collaboration from STSC's writers around a set theme. Our topic for this month is Isolation. i was in the throes of a suffocating depression when i booked my one-way flight to reykjavik. i don’t recall how i’d decided on iceland - perhaps it was the pictures of devastating, snow-covered tundra which reminded me of my own inner landscape - but i do remember the amusement i felt after clicking “confirm” on my payment details and then checking the weather to find that iceland in january was half a celsius degree warmer than my neighborhood block in long island city.
This is a sublimely well-done story. I was riveted the entire time while reading it. Well done.
God, you're incredible. Your mind, and the way you write from it.
Beautiful! Now I wish I could hear the sound.
