Oriol

by Jaka Tomc

Ljudje se že tisočletja trudijo, da bi prišli bliže stvarniku. Neuspešna gradnja bibličnega babilonskega stolpa ni bila zadostno opozorilo, najsi je šlo za zgodbo ali resnico. Četudi se spomini prenašajo iz roda v rod, bodisi genetsko bodisi s pripovedovanjem, to človeku ne koristi kaj prida. Hitreje, višje, močneje. Povsem jasno je, da smo nebesa postavili v višave. Ko jih ni bilo na najvišjem vrhu tega planeta, smo jih iskali v orbiti, nato na Luni, pa na planetih našega osončja in nazadnje v globokem vesolju. Postali smo obsedeni z iskanjem stvarjenja. Začetka. Velikega poka. Trenutka, ko je iz majhne točke sredi ničesar nastalo vse. Motiv je bil jasen. Če bi razumeli začetek, bi razumeli konec. Če bi vedeli, kako in zakaj je nastalo vesolje, bi lažje sprejeli, da je njegov konec neizogiben.

About the author

When Jaka was three years old, sitting in his grandfather's lap, he wanted to do what his grandpa was doing. So, he learned to read. Starting with obituaries.

Reading soon led to writing. At an early age, Jaka realized he was better at writing than talking. Even today, he doesn't like small talk. But his characters do, and they're pretty good at it. Jaka believes that this is one of life's ironies.

His favorite part of the year is summer, his favorite fruit is strawberries, and his favorite book is Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke. Probably because after four decades of living in his current body, he's still waiting for his childhood to end. He wouldn't mind if it never does.

Currently, he lives with his family in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
