    I should say more specifically: Marcus' image of the building which you get to once you enter this site. Also "Berlin Pastoral" for this story series, combined with his image, is a most inspired title. Cannot wait to read the rest of it!

    *Berlin Pastoral* on Day 3 has me even more enticed. I hated for it to end, today, but will wait (im)patiently for Day 4 installment of this stunning, original and existential story (existential in the best sense of that word).

    Thank you so much, Susan, I appreciate it. This isn't a flash but a rather long story...with a number of twists and turns ahead. Just right for a 12 day word fest...plus there's a lot more in this issue, with one new writer coming online every day—thanks for reading!

    The momentum of this story keeps pushing pushing pushing, with its power and humor and twist of the grotesque rendered believable here. Can't wait to read tomorrow's installment!

    "Life's not all about your tits, you know..." excerpted from Berlin Pastoral.
    Engrossing, fascinating story.

    Finished reading the last of the 12 installments of Berlin Pastoral. Exceptional story! So many surprise elements, Marcus! I had no idea how it would pull together at the end, but it did and was fascinating. And, timely. In its surreal real way. BRAVO!!!

    Thanks for staying with the story, Susan, and for liking it. I didn't know how it would look in the end but this has become a fascinating issue with a wonderful global roster of contributors—Richard House has done a fantastic job here. Thank you!

    It's a terrific project and I read some of the other stories which are very impressive too. I also adored the photos you chose to illustrate the stories. I found myself looking for the balconies as the images changed. Wonderful!
