Strange Stars A-To-Z: "H" Is For High House

Illustration by John Howe


The High House 

Wing there with me

The high place, the infinite space

The only structure built into hyperspace 

What node does it thread? What race built it? Who lives there now - 

Among its many rooms?

We know it's real 

(we think) 

Because the feathered Hyehoon 

Of quick-clawed Omu 

Say they've been there 

They call it Marao's House 

Wing with me there


We've loved the title of James Stoddard's The High House for a long time, so hopefully he's OK with another even higher (hyper?) house.
