Journal Entry One

Journal Entry No. 3 (Hungry Ghost)

Imagine that you are going to die tomorrow. Write a letter to someone that matters the most to you.



 
To my dearest one, Almora.

If you read this letter, then I’m already dead. This was the pathetic ways of my end, but it is a bless to have you, besides me for a while. I didn’t mean to hurt you by keeping away my sickness towards you. I know you hate Marlboro because it contributes to my sickness and leads to my death. I’m sorry if I had done anything wrong towards you, deeply and truly from the bottom of my heart. Do you remember our date at the beach? We dance together with ‘Staying Alive’ as the sound and drink Fanta orange until you got burped. Then, we both laugh out loud. It’s funny and I love to stare at your face at that time. You were just too beautiful and innocent back there. At that time, I feel like I’m at the frozen moment, everything just stop. I keep that as memory of ours. Actually, I stole that Fanta orange from Econ Mini-Mart. I’m sorry. I’ve tried to impress you in every way that I could, but I can’t. Time was chasing on me. You have a long way and time to be done, but not me. Keep that memory in your mind as well as your love. My love towards you will never die, although I’m already dead. Do visit my grave because it will be the great things towards me. Don’t forget to pray and pray for both of us. One thing I know that I’m always loves you. May we meet at heaven.

From the dead, Zaha.

  2. -This letter must be related with short stories 'the hungry ghost' by Hwee Hwee Tan. Marlboro was mentioned by the writer in the stories, as well as Fanta orange and 'Staying Alive' songs. No offense. But, thanks for your review. It will be notice.
