Orion Transmission to the New World — MINDOVERMATTER

We are alive now in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way—on a planet called Earth, part of The Solar System. For decades now, people have been convinced that we are made of stardust. That we share about 97% of the same atoms with everything that is in the galaxy; every grain of sand, every rock and boulder, every moving object, and all the celestial beings.

Here is how: When a star dies, all the components inside it will combust and be swept out into space. Within this life cycle of a star, materials

The Years of Living Desperately

My father used to be a sailor; a crew of a cargo ship, sailing through the Pacific Ocean. This happened before I was born. All the information I heard came from the stories he told, sometimes in the presence of my mother or sister to vouch for his statements. I never really knew the full story of what he did or how he did it. Everything came in bits. There were a couple of stories of him as a cook: the kitchen he abandoned on his first week because of the sickness and the bizarre ingredients he

Does Curiosity Really Kill the Cat?


I remember the first time I watched Batman Returns (1992), I was

probably eight years old at that time, how stoked and mesmerized I was by

Catwoman—Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman. The lonely, unhappy, and

overworked-secretary that got pushed off the window by her boss when

she found out and confronted him about his evil plan.

This was during the time where boys should’ve hated girls.

During middle school and high school years, I started to go th

Careful Where You Step — Verses Magazine

I used to be afraid of the elevator when I was a kid. I was quite an imaginative child; always managed to track any possibility of death in every situation I was in. Often found him–the Death himself–lurking in the crowds, in every corner of the room, or sometimes just sitting on a chair, adjusting his long black robe. So, yes, I had thought about a dozen different ways of dying in the elevator—my top three possible scenarios were these:
• None Trapped with too many people inside, suffocated, an

FIGURE: Rain Chudori and Raka Ibrahim of thecommabooks –

Inside a coffee shop on Tampomas street, a group of people are gathered around. It’s raining outside, but the smell from the cup of coffee and the warmth this old house brings create an intimate and cozy atmosphere. Two young writers whose names are already familiar for us who keep up with Indonesian literary works, Rain Chudori and Raka Ibrahim are there to read an excerpt from their books; Imaginary City and Bagaimana Tuhan Menciptakan Cahaya. After they’re finished with it, we get a chance to
