Another Green World : Story Home

Original draft : 27th August 1986 (12,761 words)

This is the home page for the story "Another Green World", set in the archetype of the Green World. I have provided it in two formats, so you can read it in the way that suits you best. On the right hand side, there is a link to a world anvil manuscript, whilst linked at the very bottom of the page, is a conventional prose article containing the entire story. Since it is relatively short, the prose article has the whole piece as it was originally written, whilst I have done something slightly different in the manuscript and broken it down into tracks.

Another Green World

READ

"Another Green World" is a very early piece of creative writing which predates my access to word processing and was originally written in old fashioned long hand. It was inspired by a desire to set down the images that came into my head when listening to the album of the same name by Brian Eno. If you don't know the album, I would strongly encourage any reader of this story to give it a try. It's just a perfect soundscape for drifting off into landscapes of the imagination; short pieces with engimatic lyrics (if any at all), intriguing and calming. It's good music to fall asleep to on a summer's day. The sections of this story, directly correspond to the track listings in the order below:-
