Walk in C-minor

‘Impossible things… It’s only when you do impossible things that you grow, Cat. Things that turn you inside out, and make you wonder who you are at all in this vast and unending universe. Things that take you outside the frame.’Cat sets off on a walk up the starlit path, on a course only she can see. As she walks, others gather to her, some to share the journey, others ostensibly to help. Her youthful, ambitious, intuitive journey is now an enterprise. She must walk to a common pace, and she must lead a team that can only walk in the daylight on a trail that glows only in the dark. Above all, she must resist those who seek to subvert her journey.Still, walk Cat must. And she does – against an imaginary soundtrack of Beethoven’s Sonata in C-minor, which even breaks into the rhythm of the prose.Walk in C-minor is an allegorical tale: of a vision, of holding a team together, of leadership, of finding the strength to assert one’s voice. It is also an exploration of the creative process and the deepening of one’s craft. Ultimately, though, it is the story of a dreamer, for great things come of strong dreams.
