There are some people that show up in your life just to make it better and Masqua was one of those.
I remember it like yesterday. The fear of joining into the short stories competitions on ATS...being shy, being French, not thinking I was good enough.
Masqua was the one to encourage me to do so. To stimulate me, he gave me the writer status right off the bat. Back then, you had to win a contest to get the status but Masqua made an exception with me.
And he left a trace. A good honest chap !
I wanted to leave this tribute on ATS but for some reason, I can't reply to the thread there. So I've decided to do it here.
I know for a fact that he was very proud of his art, we actually discussed about one of his paintings once, we were seeing it differently : )
ATS has indeed lost a good man.
For anyone that knew him, outside of ATS, the loss remains the same.
R.I.P Masqua and Godspeed !
