MEMORY REFRESHER

I would like to reprint here an old story from the "Cabbage Rules My Universe" site. This story, tilted "Watch Repairman's Daughter" is important to me. I have been thinking about writing a book for children with my own illustrations for some time now. My blogs helped me realise that my story is interesting enough, and that I would like to tell it and turn it into a book not for children only. My inspiration for this project is the life story of Hans Christian Andersen.

TIME STOPS FOR ME

I am ready to write a story of my life.
I was born in Poland, 12 years after the World War II ended.
I am the younger of two children born to Helena and Staniław.
My brother Wiesław is the older child.
My story doesn't know yet where to begin.

CHAPTER ONE: Time Stops for Me
                         ***
Our father owned one book: "Zegarmistrzostwo." It was a very thick book; it probably had over 1000 pages and maybe there was more than one volume of it in the wooden cabinet with sliding glass doors.

Our mother was a well read woman in contrast to Stasiek; Helena subscribed to "Przekrój".
Both of our parents were geniuses.
