My First Trip Abroad & Short Story "Run Away With Me"

So, today I'm really excited! It' my first time abroad...a litttle nervous, a little anxious and a lot can't-wait-to-get-on-that-plane! For a whole week I'll be around lovely and cold (colder than winter Greece) Sweden! I packed my bags, I put my heavy coat and warm boots on and I'm off to the airport. 

Right before I closed my suitcase though I noticed something purple hiding in my clothes, can you guess what it is?

It's x42! He sneaked in with the hope of surprising me... I'll pretend I didn't notice him and let him be. After all, holidays are always better with the people you love or trolls in this case!

Wish me a safe and happy journey!

See you all soon! :D

And a dose of fiction to go with it:

- Run with me, Calliope!

- Run where, Christopher?

- I don't know, I don't care, as long as we're together it could be anywhere. In a deserted village up in some mountain. A lonely wooden cabin hidden deep inside the woods. An ice cave far away in frozen Alaska. Anywhere!

- But why do you want to leave, Christopher?

- Because I feel trapped, my sweet Calliope. I feel like the tie in my stomach never loosens, the hours of sleep are never enough and time, time comes and passes and travels, it travels without me getting anywhere. It travels without my mind getting bigger, my horizons wider and my soul more complete. We're dying, Calliope, every day, we're dying deep inside, turning to emotionless machines, consumed by numbers, money, time, dates and tasks, all numbers! We don't live, Calliope, we simply exist. That's why I'm telling you, run away with me! Not for ever, for ever is too long, but run away with me for now and I can promise you I'll make that now worth a thousand for evers!
