I tried something new on my return flight to Singapore. I tried to write a short story about football and the yellow fever. I tried to capture the passion of this support group.

I hope you enjoy

Thought of a cover design?

I'll take my chance because luck is on my side or something...

Oh Rio, Rio, hear them shout across the land..."
