Esteban Raposo is a Chilean-American author living in Lake Arrowhead, California. His beautiful wife, a talented illustrator, has been the solar wind propelling his interstellar journey into authorship. This will be his first official published work and hopes to publish many more. STORY NOTES FOR TOMO AND HUMANITY I knew Tomo the moment I began to write him because he is me - caught between two worlds and never feeling like quite enough for either. Over the years, I’ve learned that not everyone is going to accept me as I am and that’s okay. In the end, the only human thing to do is to show empathy for others. Everyone, even those full of anger and hate, deserve to be heard. We all experience pain in this life, and sometimes, we just need someone to extend a hand and say it’s going to be okay.
