a story about Jim, a man living in the city of Heaven's Gate, who is chased by strange creatures called Kanty after the wind gets into his pores and makes music. Jim takes refuge in a cave, where he builds a stone replica of himself that produces music to distract the Kanty. He realizes that bigger stone replicas can create better music, and he builds a circle of giant statues known as Henge, which produces beautiful and harmonious music that the Kanty love. However, Jim returns home to find that his town is now deserted and sinking into the ground, realizing that he has wasted too much time with the Kanty. "The Stone Symphony" explores the themes of isolation, creativity, and the consequences of obsessing over something at the expense of everything else.
