Today I found
some fool's gold. It was so dumb it didn't even know what two plus
two was! Anyway onto the flash fiction!
The One Who
Held The World In A Box
Daichi, born in
America from a linage of Japanese immigrants that met with a lineage
of Italian ones, he grew up learning Japanese, English, and Italian.
Normally members of his family never strayed from the family
languages. But Daichi differed from them. He grew fascinated with
learning languages. Long days at the library and speaking with all
the immigrant children at school he picked up word after word.
His hobby
became wanting to learn more languages and meet more people. However
Daichi didn't like to, or have the financial means or time to
physically travel. He was still in high school when he picked up a
beginner's understanding of Spanish, French, and German. But he did
get a laptop.
Long distance
communication allowed him to voice chat with others who wanted to
learn more languages. He knowledge increased. Mastery in more and
more languages. He understood casual conversation the most. He did
pick up academia, but the works of old didn't interest him.
He held the
world in that laptop. People spoke to him about their culture. But
not about the old literature or paintings or dusty things of past.
Celebrities, TV shows or whatever brought a smile to their face in
the then and now was their life and culture. Well, he did speak to a
few professors who talked of the old ages as the thing that brought a
smile to their face.
