“I work in a restaurant in an airport in Taiwan. I am eighteen years old and I don’t like my job because everyone gets on planes and leaves. And I want to leave too.”
Kerem Mermutlu, My Last Summer

“I don’t know if it was just me making things up in my head but after the fear in their eyes had gone what replaced it was like a sad kind of wondering. A wondering of where the old me was hiding. A wondering about where the old me had gone to. It was like I had suddenly been taken over by someone else and they could see the old me had fallen away for good.”
Kerem Mermutlu, My Last Summer

“Something else you should really know about me. When I get nervous, my fingers shake. I’ve noticed this a lot recently. When mother and father argue and their voices are falling around the small family apartment, when their voices are banging against my bedroom door, I can feel my fingers start to move. I tell my fingers to stop and, sometimes, they do. But if I look at my hands closely, once I’ve told them to stop, and I try to focus on keeping them as still as possible, I notice that they are still moving.”
Kerem Mermutlu, My Last Summer

Kerem Mermutlu hi, thanks alot for taking the time to read my blog and my stories. Who are your favourite writers?


Lekeshua I was reading your blog over the weekend and enjoyed your quick wit on the short stories based off three words. I noticed you had some of your work over on Lulu and I snagged a copy. I can't to dive in and see what's going on in your mind.
