Happy Birthday Dylan

Where I’m from, there’s a saying: if a child leaves food on their plate or lying around, the food will come back to haunt them. At worst, it would just attract bugs, or so we thought. What if it attracts something not just unwanted, but far worse…

THE CREATURE

personal story / LICE

I realized I had lice when one dramatically parachuted onto my study book in the middle of class. I did what any little kid would do: I squished it between the pages and kept the bug until I got home to show my mom. I ended up getting lice nine times growing up, and luckily, my mom had a secret weapon to treat it.

the wounded amazon

Digging up childhood memories made me remember how infatuated I was with the Amazon warrior sculptures in the museums along the Turkish coastline. My mom and I took many road trips to see exhibitions featuring Myrina, Penthesilea, and many of her sisters. Maybe in another universe, I get to meet them.
