I am flying away again.

The first time I rode an airplane I was only eight months old. I didn't remember a thing.

What followed is a series of flights to and fro the country that I was born in and the country that I learned to call my home. I remember the air pressure, and how it hurts my ears and how it made me cry. I was one of those annoying babies who cry on airplanes. Please forgive me.

When I was 22 years old, I moved back to the country I was born in. It has been six years since then. I have moved to four different apartments and changed four different jobs. I remember being tired and lost like every other person in their mid-twenties.

And I felt more like a foreigner living in the country where every other person looked liked me rather then in the country where I needed an Alien Residency Certificate to stay.

So I decided to go back to school. But not in the country that I was born in nor in the country that I called home. I decided to move to a place where nobody would look like me. And I'd actually be a foreigner.

Cracked Future

Entä jos kaikki, mitä olet kokenut elämässäsi perustuisi valheisiin. Aivan kuin heräisit vuosikausia kestäneestä unesta, kun totuus iskee viimein päin kasvojasi ja päätät aloittaa elämäsi uudelleen jossain muualla. Sumire on 10-vuotias tyttö, joka elää yksinhuoltajaäitinsä kanssa tavallisessa Suomalaisessa lähiössä. Isästään Sumire ei ole ollut koskaan tietoinen, vaikka hän ei ole koskaan siitä sen suuremmin välittänytkään. Kuitenkin pian varjo lankeaa Sumiren aurinkoisen elon tielle paljastaen hänelle muutamia totuuksia menneisyydestä, joita ei hänen olisi pitänyt koskaan kuulla. Ahdistuneena kotoaan paennut Sumire ajautuu viimein kiertävän sirkuksen matkaan, jonka väki on sanalla sanoen hieman omituista ja he tuntuvat tietävän Sumiren jokaisen liikkeen ennalta ja, jossa tilannetta sekoittavat edelleen uudet, yllättävät tuttavuudet jotka saattavat muuttaa Sumiren maailman kokonaan. Ja kuka mystinen herra Vihreä oikein on?Cracked Future on tarina, jossa todellisuus on tarua ihmeellisempää. Idea syntyi aivan yllättäen enkä edes tiennyt lisääväni tätä tänne. Toivon kuitenkin edes jonkun pitävän tästä, vaikka idea syntyi melko puskista.
