MicroStories: Cinq

PHOTOGRAPH BY JC JOHNSON & STORY BY KAMI L. RICE

A real life scene has been turned miniature through the magic of photography. This miniaturized scene inspired a tiny fictional tale that invites you to discover the other stories hiding in this image. We invite you to explore the world with us, letting your imagination play along as you do.

 

The king lived for the Saturdays that he could don his long, brown wool cloak and wander out among the shoppers as though the weight of the kingdom were not upon his shoulders. He had perfected the art of blending in, and since everyone expected kings to sleep in late and eat breakfast in their 17th-century four-poster beds, no one ever stared hard enough below his yellow fleece cap to recognize his royal face. Bliss was found in breakfasting in his favorite high street cafe, very much not in his bed. Even though he had to admit, when pressed, that high-thread-count sheets are scrumptious.

Contextualizing France's Yellow Vests Protests
Contextualizing France's Yellow Vests Protests

COLLABORATION BY KAMI L. RICE, OLIVIER PEYROUS, AND JC JOHNSON

 Since part of our Culture Keeper team is based in France, it seems appropriate to bring you a Culture Keeper take on one of France’s biggest news stories in the waning weeks of 2018: the Gilets Jaunes (“Yellow Vests” or “Yellow Jackets”) movement that made it into foreign news outlets when the protests turned violent in Paris. We’re not a breaking news outlet by any stretch of the imagination, but we are in the business of offering a bit of cultural context where we can. Which is what we seek to do here as we experiment with a new-to-us storytelling format that we hope to perfect over time.

So lean back, kick off your shoes, and tuck into this reminder of the less flashy ways the world’s countries interact with each other. No need to wait to be appointed as an ambassador, for you already are one.
