Short Story
Anonymous - “We dont wait until tomorrow”.
Whilst travelling in Beirut I made a new friend along the way. He wanted to remain anonymous but this is his story only at the age of 22. If he was just seconds later I am not sure if he would be alive to tell this story.
As I travel from Beirut back home to London, Iran is still in black out and I cannot reach friends or family to check if they are alive. Distance becomes unbearable. Constantly refreshing my phone searching for proof of life. Then I get this kind message from my friend in Beirut farewelling me. I play his WhatsApp voice note repeatedly whilst capturing visuals trying to stay grounded and present.
