Lead me to the Waters
My first prize (third place): For- as backwards right. Short Story. Throughout her whole life, the narrator has known her aunt Thea Thompson, born in 1928, exclusively from visits to a psychiatric sanatorium. In Thea’s youth, a traumatic experience had left her completely silent. Directly after a remarkable funeral she restarted speaking, yet backwards, but fluently. That unalterable habit and her distinct disgust of subordinating herself to whomever, disqualified her extremely from becoming a worker or indeed a wife. Therefore they committed her to a sanatorium.
Das falsche Leben der Abigail Thornton
Kurzgeschichte. Eine nie gelebte, doch zu keinem Zeitpunkt vergessene Liebe, die durch einen Brief aus längst vergangenen Tagen zum Echo der Vergangenheit wird.
