I was born in a city island with a then-population of 2 million. It was my Krypton. I was the eldest. My sister came three years and two months later. The first few years, which I had very little memory of, was spent living in my paternal grandmother's house. I knew that from looking at the photos. We later moved to a home of our own, a 3-bedroom apartment on the seventeenth floor of a flat. Shortly after that, my sister was born.
