Flu in Zürich

a smile from the Far Side...

Hello, from the world of those who finally succumb to the flu.

The flu is a very interesting space to be in: it stops you from your usual activities, as it holds you firmly in it’s grasp, forcing you to be in the moment, count all the pains in your body, and observe the wall. You realise you have a head, because it is heavy, and you also realise that it’s not the best time to use your head: because it’s full of cement at the moment.
Somehow, it makes sense that everything is in German, because you don’t understand it any way.
Thankfully, your medication comes with explanations in four official languages, one of which is Italian, which you diligently read, and find out that it contains Paracetamol. Didn’t they ban that while you were still at boarding school, back in 1990? Luckily, doesn’t seem so, that stuff was good – tickles aspirin pink.

That’s what the flu does, then, makes you forget why you’re writing in the first place. Ah yes:

The Editor and the Editorial Team of ArtSEEN journal wish to announce the opening of a specific dedicated space within the ArtSEEN journal Blog: "First Impressions".

First Impressions is dedicated to all those who wish to write a short article to be published on our blog. It is thought as a platform for the people who contact us as potential collaborators with ArtSEEN – a space where to make your words public. And for us, it’s a ground where we can observe the budding writers, which may lead to publishing in ArtSEEN journal.

For anyone wishing to contribute to First Impressions, please e-mail me: gordana@artseenjournal.com

The instructions are simple: the theme is open, the word count is a max of 500.

We’ll be contacting the authors of the articles we find most idoneus for ArtSEEN in regards further collaboration with the publication.

Thank you for your kind attention. The wall is inviting me to observation. Until the wheel is back in motion... :)
