Writings



year 49,  the volcano explodes.


the sceintist have found a bone of a fish, three feet long, in the driest desert on earth.






year 974, a tongue of a goddess fell, igniting an eternal fire that burns blue until its end.


when I wander around sometimes I find myself following a scent of tangerine. I don’t remember the first bite of tangerine so well as I remember the last. Sometimes middle of the night I would get up and wander around until I find a blue tangerine. Sometimes I wander around for days and nights and I forget what I was looking for.




year 4947, the sun explodes.


when I get asked my name I pause for a second to remember which one to give. When I get asked my country of origin I answer them “nowhere in particular”.
