About the Author
At the first cutting light of August, many years ago, the world got the first glimpse of the entity known henceforth as
Leon Yip. It decided to douse the aforesaid with sunshine, sweets, and loads of love.
Legend has it, so convicting were his words, that upon his request, the world agreed to revolve around him, forever, and ever, and ever.

Life shouldn't have to be like this.
I should be wearing a big smile on my face, a glint in my eye.
But all I'm left now, a hole in my head, a strain on my mind.
I want the world to stop now, reverse, back to a time where I know that nothing mattered. Back to a time when I was really happy. From there, I'd make myself see that "happiness" ironically leads inevitably to unhappiness.
And I never seem to learn, that everything works two ways.
And I never want to be the one way traffic.
And I never will see again, the light of the days which has so clearly been extinguished and replace by an obscure blanketing darkness.
Step into the abyss.
Join in the great party of life, being alone in the crowd, glistening lights, giddy music, clanking of glasses, the intimate distance from everyone but myself.
So be it.
