Sursirai · The tower stories
The Alvogie of the Tower
The series that wants to be eleven. It began with six stories around one tower. Then more appeared. The Alvogie now keeps them together.
Reading order
Six parts were written first.
The Tower That Looked Back
Tersake climbs the tower to prove there is nothing there. The tower disagrees.
Notsnol
Someone knocks on a door that did not exist yesterday.
The Followling
He does not know whom he replaces. He follows what has not happened yet.
One More Little Thing
A duck. Eclipse glasses. Four chairs. Not one word to waste.
The Nose-Itcher
Four chairs were expected. Then a fifth moved across the floor and someone said bless you.
The Eurasian Jay
He arrived straight from the future and brought a forest that did not yet know it existed.
Elsewhere in Sursirai
The tower did not remain alone.
Other towers appeared in the landscape. Each guards a different human strength and each has a door of its own.
The Tower with Ears
It hears what was almost left unsaid.
The Tower of Wonder
Whoever enters here does not have to understand anything.
The Tower of Silence
What is not said here may remain.
The Tower of Vanished Dreams
Those who search for their dream walk straight past it.
The Wandering Tower
You never find her twice in the same place.
The Tower of Yesterday
It had always been there. Just never today.
The Tower of Today
It is not from yesterday.
The Tower of Kos
The path stopped one step too early.
Sam's Tower
Everything was open upstairs. Downstairs, the credits had run out.
The First Tower
The last tower claimed it had been the first.
The stories end
The tower remains.
You will find the first one at the edge of Thinktown, on the map of Sursirai. More now stand across the landscape. Somewhere, one chair always remains empty.
Carved into its back, very small: RESERVED.
Upstairs they seek enlightenment. Downstairs the tower keeps its shadow.
