He wished for rain,
because with it came the melancholy of yesterday.
Of damp earth and of dark skies,
of umbrellas colouring the pathways,
like a rainbow created by humankind.
He wished for rain,
so he could run from shelter to shelter without the need for an umbrella,
mapping out his exact route home,
and memorizing who he's seen,
and who he'd bump into...
He wished for rain,
as he stood outside a local cafe,
the soft strum of a guitar setting the ambiance inside,
and igniting a thousand emotions inside of him.
He would look up to see the raindrops fall in perfect harmony to the strum,
matching his beating heart.
He wished for rain,
so that when the clouds clear once again and the sun bathes the world in golden light,
he may see the world in all its glory and beauty and madness,
and have a clearer vision to what it can offer him.
But most of all,
he wished for rain,
because he hoped that when it came,
he might be able to find himself with it.

The Time Twister
Sarajevo, 1914 The air was smokey, clusters of particles floating through as if time had stopped. Maybe, in a way, time did stop, and it was as if the streets of Sarajevo knew something was going to happen. Or, as they say, the calm before the storm. He woke up at precisely 6:30, and dragged himself out of bed to dress. He had to look his best, today was the big day. He grabbed the letters that piled on the broken side-table and shoved them into his coat pocket, and finally, retrieved a gun from his closet and put it in his inside coat pocket. The boy looked into the dirty mirror at his shorn hair as he covered his demons with a cap.

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.
