When the last days were upon me, and the ugly trifles of existence began to drive me to madness,

like the small drops of water that torturers let fall ceaselessly upon one spot of their victim's body.

I loved the irradiate refuge of sleep.

In my dreams I found a little of the beauty that I had vainly sought in life and wandered through old gardens and enchanted woods.

That was an excerpt from Ex oblivion.

Ex oblivion.

Which is Latin for from oblivion.

Or out of oblivion. And our reader today is none other than the illustrious

Andrew Lehman. That's right. And we're doing, well, another double feature, although it's less of a double feature

today, more of a short and then a feature. Our short being ex

oblivion and our feature being the nameless city. The nameless city.

Ex oblivion is really I guess it's a prose poem that's what they call it they call it. It's really just a very short story.
