The rainforest becomes a desert and then the sea.</p><p><br></p><p>. A man in a satellite orbits the earth while playing his violin and pondering. A girl gazes up at the passing light and dances.</p><p><br></p><p><em>. Od Ovo</em> - a youth who is <em>from here</em> raises the dust of frustrated boredom on a mining asteroid and cannot believe traveller tales of places where water falls from the sky.</p><p><br></p><p>. What colour are the flowers in the Reaper's garden? They are <em>all</em> colours . . . They are black.</p><p><br></p><p>Welcome to the speculative fantasies that are <em>The Garden Black</em>.</p>
