SHORT STORY: Pursuing my dream as a refugee
My Mom stayed in my devastated neighborhood in Tarlabasi with my younger brother to take care of the older members of the family. She insisted that I flee to my uncle’s house in Bulgaria. I was worried about my security and about the things that were happening in the place I called home, but I went anyway.
