“The astronomer and the king meet in an empty ballroom in the royal castle at night, to watch the dance of the planets and the stars.
One evening the king says: Have you seen God out there, in your telescope and charts?”
a conversation about life and death
in Wilderness House Literary Review.
Thank you very much, Steve and Susan, for watching the stars with me.

Great story, Berit. Unrolling the maps at the end is a great touch. Enjoyed.
That happened in the spur of the moment, as stories tend to do. š
I’m glad to hear you liked it!
Thank you for reading and commenting.
