Virginie, a story smelling Cleopatra glue.
Cleopatra was a brand name for a glue we used to have decades earlier ; at least when i was in grade 1 to 5 ; which is a long long time ago :/ ; i have no idea if the brand still exist but i don’t think so. The glue was popular because in that early time, when the school year started, the school provided to all the same furnitures. So Cleopatra glue was part of the set.
By the way, for people of my generation, the Cleopatra glue was also known to “be high with” haha
Some smelt it all day long sitting at their desk and some even ate the glue ! Veracious !
So by a such title refering to the unforgetable glue and smell, by simply closing our eyes bring us back to that early time !
Back to 2005, the genuine story in French, i really enjoyed reading the story. In his blog, the author put online page per page making the wait quite frustrating. Day after day, we were waiting for the rest of the story.
The story is about Kek’s first love.
We all had a first love at school which makes this short story very captiving and thrilling.
Plus by reading the story, you will suprise yourself to transpose Kek’s story to one of yours !
Different girl (hopefully :D), different places, different reasons, different smells, different ways to find her but the same “no movie no movie” ! ^_^
So some days ago, i saw that Kek had translated his story and here it is in english !
Just take a quarter, it really worth it ! ^_^
About me, i should have called this story … her name starts by 1 of 26 letters from the alphabet ; if if can help :p
(and in french here with Kek’s handwriting ^_^)
You can also stop by Kek’s blog ; there is a bunch of “stupid flash games” (his words) plus a bunch of cool drawings (in french)
