A father's last goodbye.
The clinic room felt clean, absent any and all glow or solace. Machines signaled in a tedious mood, a distinct difference to the disarray of feelings seething inside me. I sat by my dad's bedside, my hand fastening his limp fingers, willing him to awaken, to return to me.

Mắm Tôm (Fermented Shrimp Paste)
In the morning, Mom took me to the market to get food for lunch and dinner. Back then, before time was hard and food was cheap, we bought groceries day by day, driven by cravings rather than survival. My small feet quickly grew tired. “You wanna starve? Pick up the pace!” Mom said, then grabbed my hand. There had never been any reasons to rush, but Mom insisted. The early shoppers get the freshest fish.

I couldn't resist coming to the funeral. Usually, I'd be keeping a low profile, avoiding confrontation while the family licked their wounds and rued their financial loss.

Worth the Wait. Content Warning.
I wandered aimlessly through the cold night air, it’s rancid breath gripping and holding the ample scent of perfume from the woman whom walked by me at bay, the streets cluttered with passerby stockholders of boxes and bags. The smell of the bodies ignored by the masses as they ignore the decomposing. The air was cold, so fridged was the frost among the dead and I stood there, silent, watching, waiting, none looked, not one bothered to see me. I was cold. The chill ran deep into my bones and though I called out to a few at first, then a small break between meek and feeble vocal sounds, my hands raised periodically, I was doing all I could to show that I needed a little help, a little warmth to get free from this frost that was overtaking me. None bothered to look at me. Many just walked past along their busy route, whereas most snubbed their nose or stepped over me like I was garbage. They did not bother to even lift me and throw me into the can that was at the corner.
