Hope When It’s Dark

Episode #1

Jonas walked through the streets to the biggest event of the year, in his beautiful gala suit. He wore a red suit with green lacquered shoes and blue laces in them. While he walked to the event's location, at the One Million Dollar Street in New York, a dozen of photographers and journalists ran towards him, asked him questions and wanted to have his time. He didn’t have time. He had to go to take the prestigious award for new magazines. He leads this magazine for a year now and is a newcomer in this category.

One of the articles — “Clouds cover the sky. Time covers your mistakes.” — published five months ago, won first prize. It is a story about that there is always light in the darkness. The article tells a true story about a man who came back on earth from a beautiful space in the clouds to spread light and hope and then goes back to his beautiful space. This man always sees storm clouds hover while trees stretch their fingers to the mist, and send hope and darkness to earth where he never likes to hover.

Jonas walked on the red carpet to the press room.
