dialog four
inbillningskraften (the faculty of imagination)
Completed October 2021.

Completed July 2021.
Two voices (UPPER CASE and lower case) lament the breakdown of a project and feel they have lost the meaning of saying lines. They discover a stain on the page and they try to make it the point of the conversation. But the project fails once more. On the last few pages I discuss what I wanted to achieve in this book, but without success.

dialog one: inombordssnack (introvertal chat)
Completed Summer 2020.
The first book of this project is a tryout. I let a stream of consciousness (in my head) come out word by word without assessing and editing the output. It is a complete embarrassment. And a failure. I have kept the book as a reminder to myself: do not do this again.
