Have you ever watched a sunset? Have you ever watched two sunsets?
This short novella is about an astronomer, living in the fictional South African pit-stop middle-of-nowhere town of Farfontein, and how he cannot decide where the best sunsets are in the world. Together with his trusty vehicular eye of the night, the Farfontein Optical Observatory or the "Foo", he makes an astounding revelation about the matter. And then some.
This story was originally written for a challenge to write something about the expression: "What goes up must come down."
I am an astrophysics masters student living and studying in Munich of Germany. I was born and raised in Johannesburg of sunny South Africa. My parents are Bulgarian, my father additionally half Ukranian. I went to a German international school and learned German to fluency. Becuase of all this, I belong to many places, but also I belong to none. In order for me to summarise all this under one breath, I usually tell people I come from the moon, which is enough to keep them from asking further questions. But apart from the moon, a natural habitat for me might be forest, savannah, or mountaintop, where I mostly practice the artform that has come to be known as hiking. I also found my soulmate in the mountains, to whom I offered a mountain flower in order to gain her favour. Now we are a moon nation of two. In some space between all of this, if I really really feel like it, I write stuff.
