I am sitting here.

I've been walking until I come across this river.

Taking a simple walk is so refreshing

in the middle of the forest.

A beautiful river flows.

and the sounds of birds chanting

I am still walking.

I don't get tired.

All I see is the beauty of nature.

I don't know this place.

I don't even know where I am.

No sign of other people

I've never been here.

I can't remember how I ended up here.

All I know is that

I was walking to the nearest supermarket.

with my grandmother.

We both saw a speeding van coming to us.

We both screamed.

But then,

I found myself here.

Did that van hit us?

Did we die?

Am I dead?

Am I a ghost?

I wonder where my grandmother is.

But I am not worried about her whereabouts.

I don't miss her.

and I don't remember anything.

Why am I not worried?

I am enjoying the serenity in this forest.

I think I am happy here.

no stress,

no hunger,

I'm always happy.

My level of happiness is just the same.

Maybe I am a half-ghost.

Else half-human.

I like this forest.

I like being here.
