Mommy, Where Are you?
Mommy, where are you? What am I doing here? I’m scared. There are so many of us, everybody without their mother. Why are we locked in this huge space here? What are we waiting for? Maybe they will take us to our mothers so that we can snuggle up close to them. [...]

Today is April 9, 2138.
Yesterday, I lost my best, really best friend Reika. She got sick from leukemia, my mom told me. Lately her skin was very pale and she became thinner. [...]
Cancun 2010. Just another conference of irresponsibility, carelessness, unpreparedness, distrust, disunity, destructiveness, injustice, foolishness, mistakes and aimlessness more.
Just that and nothing more. What a shame. Any further talking is a waste of time. The time we have been losing for years and years with such fruitless conferences.

The Game Starts Now, Please Deposit Your Money
Would you deposit your money into a bank if this bank had a sign “Gambling Bank” hanging above the entrance? Probably not. But that’s exactly the kind of title that should be given today’s banks because what’s going on there is a game and not useful banking services as you would expect.
How did this start?
Simple. [...]
The quarry
The sun is hot like fire. The quarry walls are bathing in heat. A young woman with a worn-out body picks up a large stone and carries it to her husband. She’s in pain. The husband is sitting next to a bigger rock, breaking it into small pieces. He’s missing two fingers on his left [...]

It’s snowing lightly. A group of children at the bus station are happy because of the snow that has fallen overnight. They are snowballing one another, cheering when a snowball hits one of their schoolmates. Tina hides behind the trunk of an old pear tree. Out of breath, she [...]

Golden blood
It’s a clear night. Moonlight is shining through the small windows of the hut, lighting up the little bodies lying on the floor. Air in the room is stuffy. Single coughs are followed by a whisper mixed with quiet weeping.
»I can’t do it anymore. I’m not going down there ever again. I can no longer [...]
