The singular hill is calling and I must go. By this I mean it is dark cloudy and in the 70’s where I am, but the sun is setting over the hill and the trees are orange.

Ah that is so beautiful! I hope the sun gets up before the day ends.

“SINGULAR HILL IS CALLING” - this phrase is the title of a sci fi short story from the late 70s that I used to like a lot as a child.

It features the following exchange:

Hill is silent and still. Hill lies in a pile of discarded jackets and discarded ideas. “You will never win, you will never understand us.” But Hill has been silent long enough for the words to grow weak. Hill’s mouth opens a crack.

“Well, fuck. Guess the world is full of bastards.”

“No it isn’t,” Hill snaps. It is the only answer Hill has the patience to give. “It isn’t. It never was.”

The sun, behind a cloud, disappears and Hill is gone.
