A kite, a poem, and a sky that never learned mercy. In the ruins of Gaza, a nine-year-old boy named Rahim dreams not of escape, but of flight. His kite becomes his rebellion. His poems, his only peace. But in a world where bombs speak louder than children, will anyone listen to Rahim before the sky swallows him too? A story about love, loss, and the soul of a land that refuses to die. #FreePalestine - not as a slogan, but as a heartbeat.

This quick read follows the journey of a lone man trying to find his way back home. After being thrown off course likely due to his own distractibility, although he'd hardly admit to it, the hopeful time traveller must work his way back through time to the embrace of everything that is familiar to him. He makes stops along the way, forcing him to reflect upon the history that makes up the lattice work of his identity and that of his people. I made this story some time ago as a homage to Palestine and its people of the past, present and future. It has been sitting in my laptop for a while and I thought, considering everything that has happened and continues to happen, perhaps it may do some good to set it adrift in the ether of the internet. So, dear reader, please reflect upon whatever comes to you as you read this story and any story or any bit of information you across in your own journeys throughout this world we all share.
