AB2: PLEASE DON’T COME BACK FROM THE MOON



This is a story about Michael Smolij who lives in a neighborhood wherein fathers just left one day leaving a note that they went to the moon. He was just a teenager at that time and guess what? He hated his father for what he did. Father figure is important while a child is growing up.

He doesn’t like it but he has to move on. When he was asked by his mother what did he like to he answered, “A writer, I guess.” and thought it had just occurred to me, but suddenly it sounded right. It was what I wanted to do.

He pretty much knew what he was doing even though sometimes he feels lost, doing adult stuff even at a young age. Nonetheless, he knew what the basic principle is when you are in a radio station: “Dead air was the mortal sin of radio broadcast.”

He is a smart kid. Though he did some bad things in his youth, drinking and other vices, he grew up to be a man and became a father to his family. He did not leave his town because inspite of all, there is still happiness in Maple Rock.
