Chapter 4 from Finest Illusions

Needless to say, when I got home, KiKaKo were all chattering away at the dinner table. I wasn’t even surprised that my mother was so calm about this whole matter. You know, typically, parents would freak out if their children disappeared, but for my mother, this was just an everyday matter. In fact, she even kept a record of my disappearances in her diary of her children.

Hello from far away

Hello! 

Sorry for not actively updating my stories. I'm currently out of the country and have limited access to the Internet. I've also started to work, so I've been fairly busy.

I'll get to them soon enough. Thank you for understanding! I believe I will start writing again at the end of August or in September. We shall see!

Hope you have a nice summer!
