High on a remote mountain, where wind threads through stone and silence gathers in the dome, an old observatory waits for night. Inside, a solitary astronomer begins his ritual.

Constellations breathe. A spiral forms, a rhythm pulses, a triangle glows with deliberate synchrony.

The Passport of Forgotten Places is a poetic literary short story for bedtime — part of the Before Your Dream series.

In a house worn thin by time and silence, two quiet creatures—Bear and Hare—awaken not just from sleep, but from the strange dream of being human.

Part fable, part lullaby, Bear and Hare is a tender, quietly surreal tale about love without condition, the fragile magic of domestic moments, and the possibility that even a dream—if held gently—can shape a planet.

Vera non è mai stata sola. Da quando è bambina, una voce l'accompagna ovunque: la sveglia di notte, la incalza, la consola. È la voce di suo fratello Cè, morto quando lei aveva quattro anni.

Ma è anche un giudice severo, che la mette alle strette con una semplice domanda: «Sei davvero Vera?». Ma chi era Cè? Per i genitori è stato il figlio perfetto, e Vera ha vissuto ogni giorno nella sua ombra.

Pangloss would have been right at home in a post-truth, social media world. You can imagine the tweets, “I was hanged and survived #soggyrope,” or, “#nosyphilisnochocolate.” Candide, written in 1759, was never more relevant than today.
