The crowd applauded, and Jonathan took the stage.
"First of all, thank you all so much. All of this year's entries were excellent, and I do mean it. I simply aimed to tell a story that has been in my heart for so long, years even."
"It started as an idea a decade ago, and I even wrote the script for the first page. But it sat down on the corner, and life went on."
"Then, just four years ago, I was inspired to revisit that page, and I wrote it down. It was almost a mania for me, completely crazy! I just couldn't stop."
"Then I reached out to the most wonderful artists and bam! This independent work finally got to see the light of day-"
He said the word with a slight wince.
"-and now I'm so very proud of my friends for helping me get this through. Thank you all so much and have a wonderful night!"
The crowds cheered as he left the stage. He waved a few goodbyes, before he was in the veranda. A tern landed on his shoulder, and nuzzled against his cheek.
It took off, and became a chariot, with Manuel grabbing Jonathan's arm and dragging him in.
The both of them rode into the night, and it was perfect.
