I never got the life talk.
Time to address the illusion of adulthood. I am in my late twenties now. This is the responsible age.

The grandma question.
“Sweetie, what is it that you do really?” That’s my grandmother asking. She sits in a 25-year old wonky sofa and pets her amorphous Shitzu.

Unsung Heroes: A short story in tribute to Sweden’s Eurovision triumph
A low-frequency tone filled the air blanketing all natural sounds from audibility. Our soldier resolved that the pervasive drone of heavy-machinery was only a minute concern compared to the inexpressible stench exhausting his sense of smell. He stood alert, but ultimately exhausted and scared. Forsaken on a task that few before him had managed to… Read More Unsung Heroes: A short story in tribute to Sweden’s Eurovision triumph
