Story
A well-known writer now aged 75 is aware of his increasing age and the risk that his literary style will grow worn. His everyday existence is enlivened by characters from his stories, who tend to enter reality in unexpected ways, at various stages of completeness and with all kinds of strange demands.
Summary
In "Bethlehem Light," renowned 75-year-old author, Sejnoha, grapples with age and the fear his literary style may lose its vibrancy. His reality becomes a tapestry woven with characters from his tales, emerging unpredictably, seeking assistance in their unfinished forms or harboring eccentric requests. Each visitation is a reminder of unanswered questions he'd posed within his narratives—echoes of his own existential musings on achieving personal growth without sacrificing hard-won existence.
