Chapter Thirteen
Brave
I perceived a knife stabbed unswerving into my chest. The pointed tip of the knife landed through the skin of my heart. I am certain that very moment my heart does not wish to continue. Damn, my heart breaks. Oh man it is very painful. My heart is pounding very weak. It feels like my heart admits defeat and does not want to fight anymore. I couldn’t stop crying.
And just when worse is not enough, my lungs are suddenly filled with water. I couldn’t breath. I feel like my head is underwater drowning helplessly. Is it too late now? I put my right feet forward with tears filled my eyes. Can I go back? I take one step followed by the next. I don’t want to die. I walk faster until I come running. And while I ran I heard a song play, but I guess it should not bother me anymore now that I know I am dead.

The RainThe rain made a very loud noise tonight. Heavy rain fallsand hits hard on the roof of the houses and also on the ground. I listened to the sound of the rain and felt the heavy weight of the water streaming like it will never end. The rain constantly poured followed by a very strong sound of thunder which made Chi-Chan barked in panic. I saw Malloryquicklyjumpedon her mother’s lamp as soon as she heard the sound of the thunder. ‘Mama, I’m afraid.’ Mallory cried as she embraced her mother tightly in fear. ‘Don’t be afraid, the thunder cannot enter the house.’ Her mother said. ‘Baby listen, our roof won’t break because of the thunder.’I wanted to tell them not to fear or worry, for they are just fine. From a distance I watched how they lived their lives. I looked at Irina as she comforted Mallory. I honestly admire her a

The Wake 11 PM, Mallory is already sleeping beside me on the bed. With a very pale light I look at her face, she looks so placid with her eyes closed. And she breathed with her mouth slightly opened. Her left hand is placed near her chin and her other hand is on top of a pillow. I stood up and turned off the moon light on top of the table near the bed. And then I lay again on the bed and I lookedat the ceiling, even though the room was already dark and I couldn’t see anything, not even shadows. I let out a heavy sigh. Am I dreaming or just imagining things? Did I really travel through time?I thought it was impossible, and it only happens in movies and books. Movies and books, huh? I instantly jumpedout of the bed and rushed to the living room. I turnedon the lightsandbegan toscroll the bookshelf near the window.I found i
I Was Here Chapter Sixteen
Slowly I entered through the open door of the house. And I am more surprised to find out it is the wake of a person, that is why there are people outside the house. I see a coffin in one side of the wall of the living room. And there are white flowers to both the right and left side of the coffin. A little girl, maybe three or four year old, plays with her orange ball beside the coffin. She wears a white knee length dress without sleeves. She has a shoulder length light brown hair and fair skin. I watched her open a pack of M&M’s chocolate. She takes out a blue small rounded chocolate and puts it in her small pinkish mouth. As she chews she takes another one, red this time and tries to reach the coffin. ‘Wake up,’she said. ‘Mama is crying again.’ The little girl stood up and climbed to a white mono-block chair, which made her possible to reach the coffin. I watched how she repeatedly strike the top glass of the coffin

A Promise I Won’t Keep6:00 PM, the sun is setting, soon it will be dark and Mallory will be home. Maybe I should clean the bedroom before she gets home. I slowly climbed the wooden stairs with my bare feet.‘Come it’s almost 9 o'clock you should be sleeping, you still have school tomorrow.’ I said and took Mallory by hand as we climbed upstairs to the bedroom.‘My feet hurt, carry me Mama.’‘Okay here you go.’‘Strong Mama,’ she said. ‘I love you, Mama.’‘I love you too, baby.’I open the door to the bedroom. There is a dark brown framed window at one corner where the light comes from. The yellow and orange light freely pushes through the open window. The yellow orange light hits the wooden floor. I see Eric stand right there

I passed by one or two salons, they resumed operations but with very limited numbers of customers only are allowed inside the shop. Only 30% only capacity of the store is allowed, and you will see only one or two customers inside the salon.

Tuesday afternoon the town looks dead and very quiet.5:00 PM, I reached my destination, the exact pedestrian line where Eric was hit by a car.

Yellow and Orange SkySaturday 5:20 PM, I stand beside the Saturday 5:20 PM, I stand beside the open window of the bedroom. At one moment I was hypnotizedby how aesthetically the sunset paints the skyyellow and orange. The sky is covered with yellow and orange color, and there are some patches of grayish dark blue color across the sky. Orange and dark gray cloudsenormously scatteronto the sky. And from where the sun sets, the yellow sunlight is like a massive fire burning andstrongly sprawlingonto the clouds. It is beautiful, the sunset is always beautiful.I remember the old days when I would have a joy ride with a motorcycle alone. I enjoy the path I traveled, the scenery I passed by, the wind brushing against my jacket and the time I spent alone with myself. I love how a simple ride helps me clear my mind from worries of life that formed a dark rainy cloud above my
