Where am I from? It sounds like a simple enough question, doesn’t it. But I’m not sure it is, at least not for me. Is it a reference to where I was born or where I’m at now? Or am I to answer with some metaphysical meaning? I guess to make things easier I’ll just go with where I’m from now. I’m currently from Smallville, Kansas the Meteor capital of the world. What was once just a “corn capital” became a hotbed of meteor activity years ago when it was first devastated by a meteor shower. But like many places, the town was strong and it survived. She rebuilt herself and because of the meteor rocks, became a little bit of a tourist attraction as well as the birthplace of several meteor infected individuals. I moved to town about six years ago while trying to find out who killed my cousin, who, for the record, turned out not to be dead. I ended up staying for one reason or another and it’s been home ever since. There were times I regretted coming here, but those were in the early days. Now, I couldn’t imagine what my life would have been like if I’d never been here. The most important events of my life have happened here (and Metropolis of course) so it would take a lot to leave.. which of course I’m going to. Commute is a bitch lately and I’d like to actually see my fiancé once in a blue moon.
Pretty soon I’m going to have to change my answer to, “I’m from Metropolis.” That makes me a little sad, but at the same time I can’t help but be a little excited about it. But I have to admit, if the question was slightly altered to say “Where is your home?” I’d always say Smallville. You can decide if I mean the town or the person.
