This is the story of the most amazing hero I have ever known. We met on a midsummer’s day, the kind brimming with anticipation and possibilities.

Harsh winds dominated the city. The year was 6666. Tribal calls were heard like ringing in a punctured ear. Luka woke to the putrid smell of dumped gasoline. It came from the trail of waste, lined on the fast-paced streets of Tutsi. As she gradually opened her eye’s she was greeted with the constant sentiment of loneliness. She stretched, exaggerating her physique, but quickly contracted. Realizing again, that her room was still the size of a closet. The space was black, allowing only one crevice of light to shine dimly. Every morning Luka would search for the split fissure. Practicing pressing her bare face against its rough edges.
