045 - Calliope's Laughter by Nikola Dimitrov


Listen Later

A struggling musician finds a woman sitting barefoot on the side of a freezing street in Bulgaria. Will he help her, or pass her by?


"The first time I saw her, she was sitting at the corner of Vitosha Boulevard and Slivnitsa Street. She looked like a cast-off toy, ragged and worn, yet traces of her beauty remained visible beneath layers of neglect. Her pale skin was cracked and scarred. Long blonde hair fell in dirty braids over her shoulders, their tips resting on the ground."

So begins "Calliope's Laughter", a short story by Bulgarian writer Nikola Dimitrov.
