Ways of Dying (1995)
“He is visited by strange creatures that look very much like the figurines that his father used to create. But these are made of glass. They make a terrible din, shouting his name and dancing around, all in step. Noria, also made of crystal clear and sparkling glass, appears among the creatures. She gives one sharp whistle, and the dancing and din stop abruptly. The creatures gather around her, and she feeds them glass hay. Molten glass drips from her fingers, and some of the creatures lap it. T...oloki sees himself, made embarrassingly of flesh and blood, looking longingly at the scene. He wants to join Noria and her creatures. He walks towards them. But Noria rides on a glass horse that suddenly grows glass wings. It flies away with her. ‘Please, Noria!’ he screams, ‘Don’t leave me! Wait for me, Noria! Noria!’ He wakes up in a sweat.
A drunk sitting on a bench a short distance away from his laughs at him. Fumes of plonk fill the waiting room.
‘Who is she, ou toppie, the woman you have wet dreams about?’ ‘None of your business.’ ‘Then stop disturbing our sleep with her name.’ He takes a long swig from a bottle wrapped in brown paper, and drifts into a noisy snooze.MoreLess
