The Building

by
March 2022, no. 440

Because of its gloomy appearance the building is like a defeated army, and
the gloom is so heavy it makes handling difficult and postage quite out of the
question. Still, if you wish to transfer its impression to someone don’t despair
at the apparent impossibility of it; there are some things you can do, and it’s
always better to feel like a winner than be dragged down by your enemies.
I say this to you because these enemies of yours are hiding behind the stinking
and spider-infested bushes which grow at the building’s corners. See, there is
one over there. There’s a pen-knife clutched in his hand and a concentrated
look of intense hatred standing, apparently at attention, in each of his eyes.
And this is the building you have been waiting to enter! Move closer and
you will see a single word rudely carved above its padlocked door: fame.
