The novel hid four poems inside it that no one ever found.
He stopped calling himself a hero for legal reasons.
My parents panic button involved saying ‘I love you,’ which said too much about them.
“Writing? Oh, that’s easy: I’m so good at it when I’m not writing.”
“You know how, when you were walking along the beach?”
“Yeah?”
“And there was only one set of footprints?”
“Oh, come on –”
“God was piggybacking.”
And sometimes, if he did not think about it too hard, the curse seemed almost a gift.
There was a Door once, but it is gone. And I am what is left over, and something of what remains.
Our VFX team Boyan and Robin recorded some bubbles and particles with our cinematographer Simona, to use for compositing over the animation. Can’t wait to see it all come together!

Searching for Long-Lived Dark Photons with the Heavy Photon Search Experiment
Lapilli, meaning ‘little stones’ in Latin, can have diverse origins, but the example shown on a photograph is more precisely called accretionary lapilli.
Accretionary lapilli form during a volcanic eruption in the ash cloud. When big volcanic eruption occurs, a volcano will blow a huge cloud into the atmosphere. Such cloud will contain massive boulders, smaller rocks, volcanic ash and gases etc. Rocks are heavy, so they fall back down fast, however, ash and gases do not. The most abundant and important in this process gas is a water vapour.
Mix fine ash and water vapour/steam together and what you get is an airborne mud. Water vapour sticks ash particles together, so as the huge turbulent ash cloud grows and mixes, more and more ash particles come together to form little balls (lapilli) which then rain down like hail once they get too heavy.
This layer formed after such rock rain in Hawai’i Island (Big Island).
