The Thief of All Sounds

Published: Sept. 2, 2022, 6:35 a.m.

An unassuming artifact in a small museum might be a powerful mythical object from whence all sound arises.

Genre: Mythology

 

Excerpt:
There was a sound; it was called the “keynote.” And just as a keystone holds all other stones in place in an arch, the keynote held all other sounds in place in the world. The keynote was also the sound from which all other sounds emerged.

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing.  At center, a disc with a solid border, inside of which is a script that circumscribes the disc, and a figure in left profile from shoulders up, with pointed ears, mouth open, and eyes closed.  A small sliver of the disc has broken off and is missing near top right. Small cracks are visible over the disc’s surface. At the disc’s base sit three snail shells. Flanking the shells are two birds. A duck in right profile sits in a puddle at left. A songbird in left profile is perched on a branch at right. The bird’s head is turned away with beak open. Behind the duck is the funnel of a tornado. The original image is a rectangle. To make it square a border is added at top and bottom, rays of energy emanate from the background of the image and extend into these borders. A watermark of the word “Storyfeather” lies over the center of the image.
