Torn Masquerade

Gaetano Solis-Sanchez

The lights still prance across the wall, our world like a disco ball hanging on by its last thread. From the bullets of war raining down on protesters in Myanmar to the unforeseeable enemy lurking behind every mask, this masquerade ball has turned into a mad house on the verge of collapse threatening to forever leave its infected blood-stained mark on this broken piece of history. Can we save each other from one another? From the woman whose face is scarred from days alone with the one who has broken the promise to defend her, to the small child working to make ends meet; who will answer the call to save this crumbling ball? Could it be me and you? So tell me, are you ready to answer the call?
