Chapter 05: Cities and Names 02

In this city, names carry power. Names can communicate to a person exactly where a person is supposed to go. Names of the street or the city have a deep impact on a person. But not all names in this city are good. They can be bad in fact. Some names should never be spoken in this city. Get yourself into the city and get out again. Sit under a tree, beside a fountain, think about which names in this city could never be spoken.

If some city isn’t real, then can this city be too? Just because the city is not here today, it doesn’t mean that it won’t be tomorrow. And it doesn’t mean that it will also not be by the end of the year. The days have no precise markers. In this city, one day seems to be years. And a week feels to be centuries. All the best stories could be told in this city. This city is too perfect to be real.
