I’m silent for a few minutes and Stanna lays beside me, listening.

“It’s a beautiful story,” she says.

“It’s not finished yet.”

“Why are you telling it to me?”

“Because I needed to tell it to someone.”

“Who told it to you?”

“Don’t you know?” I tell her. “The most beautiful stories are true.”

And then I turn away from her and close my eyes and try to find sleep.

It is customary to blow the shofar from the first of Elul until Erev Rosh Hashana, in memory of the covenant with God and in order to confuse the Sattan, so that he won’t know the exact day of Rosh Hashana. Hope is like dust, blown away with the wind; a thin froth driven away by a storm; like smoke dispersed with a tempest. So too is the sound of the shofar.

—The Book of the Solomonars, page 61, verse 2
