“Escape from Siberia: A Journey of Courage and Survival”
At the beginning of the story, we see a prison in Siberia, where many German soldiers are lined up. In fact, after the end of World War II, Russia captured a large number of German soldiers and forced them to work day and night in coal mines. Although the security of this prison was quite low, no one ever tried to escape from it. The reason was that the prison was surrounded by nothing but endless snow, and it was located about 14,000 kilometers away from any human settlement. So even if a prisoner managed to escape from this prison, his death in the freezing cold of Siberia was certain. This prison was built in the middle of snow stretching thousands of kilometers in every direction, which is why no prisoner could even imagine escaping from here. However, among these prisoners, there was one man who was extremely intelligent and wanted to escape from this prison to return to his wife and daughter. This prisoner’s name was Clemens Feirl. He had been sentenced to 25 years in this prison, and Clemens did not want half of his life to pass inside these prison walls. Clemens wanted to escape from this prison at any cost. Fortunately, one day Clemens got a chance to escape, and he fled the prison by hiding inside a freight train carrying coal. When he came out of the prison and saw the stars in the open sky, he felt overwhelmed with happiness. But this happiness was short-lived. After traveling some distance, the freight train was stopped. When Clemens looked outside, he saw a Russian soldier standing in front of him with a gun aimed at him. Unfortunately, Clemens was caught, and for the crime of escaping, he was locked inside an open-air cell. The cold was extreme, and the rain during the night worsened Clemens’s condition. He was not kept in that cell for a few hours, but for a full two days. After two full days, the next morning, the prison warden came to him and took him out of the cell, but did not torture him. He only said, “Your companions are waiting for you impatiently.” When Clemens reached his fellow prisoners, they were waiting for him with sticks and clubs in their hands. They were extremely angry with Clemens because, due to his escape attempt, all of them had been kept hungry for the past two days. Now Clemens understood why the warden had said that his companions were waiting for him. As soon as the other prisoners saw Clemens, they attacked him and beat him very badly. During this beating, Clemens was injured so severely that he had to be admitted to the prison hospital. The doctor of this prison was also a German prisoner. When Clemens regained consciousness, he said to the doctor, “I want to escape from this prison once again, and I need your help.” The doctor was astonished by Clemens’s courage. Even after enduring so much suffering, he was still not ready to give up. The doctor explained to him that escaping alive from this prison was impossible, and even if he did escape, he would die in the freezing cold outside. But the truth was that even if he did not escape, his death was still certain. The coal mines where they worked had extremely high levels of carbon, which entered their bodies through the air and caused deadly diseases like cancer. That is why the doctor said to Clemens, “You must try to escape from this prison one last time.”

“When Survival Created the First Friendship Between Man and Beast”
This story takes us back about 20,000 years from today, to a time when humans lived in small tribes. In the story, we see ancient European people who lived in tribal groups and hunted together. We are introduced to the leader of this tribe, whose name is Ergen. A few months later, winter is about to arrive, so Ergen goes out hunting with the people of his tribe to gather food for the cold season. In front of them is a very large herd of wild bison. Everyone crawls closer to the bison. Ergen, being the leader of the tribe, waits for the right moment and signals the attack, and everyone rushes toward the bison. To escape the hunters, the bison start running in the opposite direction, and one by one many of them fall into a ravine. However, one bison survives and, in anger, charges toward Ergen’s son, Noyan. Noyan has come on a hunt for the first time and does not know how to protect himself. Ergen tells his son to move out of the way, but Noyan gets scared and starts running. The wild bison quickly approaches Noyan, lifts him onto its horns, and runs toward the ravine. Seeing this, Ergen throws his spear at the bison to save his son. The spear hits the bison, but despite being injured, it does not let go of Noyan and instead throws him toward the edge of the ravine. From here, the story goes into a flashback, one week earlier, where we see the tribe preparing for the hunt. They are making different kinds of sharp weapons from stones. This was not just preparation; new people who wanted to join the hunt had to make such stone weapons. Whoever made the sharpest and most pointed weapon was selected for the hunt. In this competition, Ergen’s son Noyan also succeeds. That night, Noyan’s mother tells Ergen not to take Noyan on the hunt with him, saying that he is still a child. She says that she loves him very much and does not want to lose him. Ergen replies that winter is coming and at this time of the year everyone goes hunting. If they do not hunt, they will die of hunger during the winter, and Noyan must prove that he is his son. The next morning, all the people of the tribe leave for the hunt. Noyan’s mother feels anxious that something might happen to her son, but Ergen reassures her and says not to worry, nothing will happen to Noyan. Then they all set off on the hunt. After going some distance, they encounter another tribe that, like them, has also gone out hunting to gather food for the winter. After traveling a long distance, they reach a stone structure that was built by their ancestors. This journey is very dangerous, and many of their elders had lost their lives during it, which is why they built this stone structure in their memory. Moving forward, they spot a wild boar, which they injure with a spear. Ergen tells his son Noyan to kill it, but Noyan has never hunted before. He panics and is unable to kill the boar. Ergen then snatches the stone dagger from his hand, kills the boar, and says: “I never thought you would turn out to be so cowardly. Only the strong survive here — this is the law of the jungle.” At night, while they are eating their hunt, strange sounds are suddenly heard. Ergen tells everyone to stay alert. At that moment, a lion appears and carries away one of the boys. The next morning, they make a small grave in memory of that boy and continue their journey. Despite walking many miles, they do not find any more prey. After walking the entire day, they decide to spend the night in a cave. There, Ergen makes star-shaped tattoos on Noyan’s hand and tells him that these stars will appear in the night sky, and if he follows them, he will find his way back home. In reality, this is a map, so that if someone gets lost during the hunt, they can find their way back home.

The Night a Song Brought Me Back to Myself
I didn’t watch the special for the spectacle. I watched because I needed to hear the song again. Not the version from the movie trailer or the TikTok clip. The one that lived in my bones—the one I’d hummed under my breath during chemo, during layoffs, during the long winter after my divorce. The song that said: It’s okay to be different. It’s okay to fall. It’s okay to rise anyway.

The Day the Stadium Felt Like Church
I wasn’t born into fandom. I was adopted into it. At ten years old, I didn’t understand offside rules or midfield rotations. I only knew that every Sunday, my grandfather would take my hand, walk me three blocks to the edge of the stadium, and sit with me on a cracked concrete step—just outside the gates, where the roar of the crowd bled into the street like a hymn.
