Random Scrap:
It was pitch dark around me when I woke up. So quiet. My nostrils were dried out from the air around me. Everything seemed so serene and peaceful. I recgonised the smell almost instantly. I was back in the desert with the now more familiar feeling of jet lag. I allowed myself to enjoy this careless moment for a bit longer. Soon the familiar sense of panic would begin to creep in. The familiar what ifs. What if Michael doesn't hire me back? What if I run out of money? What if the last year was just a pure luck? Fully alert now I woke Akira up and told him we had to get something to eat.
The excitement of landing in Poland was hard to contain. My luggage got lost so I had to fill out some forms before I could continue my journey into the arrival area. It had been almost a year since my parents dropped me off just on the floor above. And here we were again! We hugged and when Mom stopped crying we walked to the parking lot. All the cars seemed like a miniature version of what I got used to seeing in America!
