All I can say is Wow! So much to think about in so few words. This little story is like a Chinese puzzle box. It sent me running to Wikipedia to learn more about Kafka's life. If you want to know who Felice and Milena and Dora REALLY were, go to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Kafka
And the author's name? Schrodinger Katz? Is it another clue to the puzzle? Something to do with Schrodinger's cat, the quantum mechanics thought experiment where the cat might be simultaneously alive AND dead?
Are there more mind-warping puzzles in this story that I missed? Like time doesn't exist? Or we only THINK time exists? Or? Anybody find other clues?
