The old beige home, but has the magical charm loftily located amidst the pine forest as if it is waiting for someone coming back to a familiar place. A few minutes later, the shiny black van rushes to the parking lot, together with the appearance of Morpheus Evans, the 69-year-old man who fell down the stairs—causing him to have amnesia and paralysis all his life. Under the tree, the new wheelchair is slowly pushed to be in front of that home by his wife. Her short and gentle whisper plus the long breeze that seemed happy woke him up.167Please respect copyright.PENANAG6ndnZ3asQ
“Honey, we arrived.”167Please respect copyright.PENANA30e0BikfBB
Phoebe Evans touches his shoulders and moves her oval face, decorated with blonde hair, closer to her husband.167Please respect copyright.PENANAp61ByDR3Ff
“Where are we now?” wondered Mr. Evans.167Please respect copyright.PENANABDwMfKyuZY
“It was your old home before you were adopted. Honey.” 167Please respect copyright.PENANARtKNLdMk9b
Madame Evans sighed. The truth she knew from her mother-in-law is about the painful Morpheus’s background showing that he is an orphan due to the death of all his relatives. Morpheus was adopted by a rich family resulting in a better life. In addition, his action told that he never wants everyone to know the history of the orphan who never got love and care from his old parents.167Please respect copyright.PENANAYTXvFyUmTa
Suddenly, Morpheus keeps silent. That makes the blonde wife take him to the beige home.167Please respect copyright.PENANAjunmtniNvE
“Welcome home!”167Please respect copyright.PENANAesaNz5P5rj
As this home has a magical charm, it has many parts which are ready to be used. Two guests are not concerned about the tranquility. Firstly, this home gives them the American cowboy vibe. There is wooden furniture. The wall is decorated by deer head sculptures and fur, including warm light. Next, it is a two-story home. The first floor consists of the vintage kitchen and the toilet. The second one has a bedroom with a brown leather couch, a mini bed, and a plaid blanket. Lastly, it is about the mystery of the first floor—a secret room hidden by a trap door. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAUt47JYCclp
If his doctor advises that an amnesia patient should be familiar with memorable things, Phoebe will not take him here for an unforgettable deep heart increase. 167Please respect copyright.PENANATCAAh8dc2l
“…A secret room”167Please respect copyright.PENANAvfHaeE2QED
“Yes?” added the woman.167Please respect copyright.PENANA2th0lejgJs
“Let me in a secret room alone” Phoebe is about to prohibit, but Morpheus rapidly talks back. “Let me in a secret room alone!”167Please respect copyright.PENANAwy8HnviVMs
She finally leaves him and goes out.167Please respect copyright.PENANA8jMu2nNGL4
The old man pushes the wheelchair to the bookshelf made of pine and sweeps with his gaze quickly. The red daily book contained on that shelf is a thing that catches his eye-catching. It seems very old and dirty, but believe it or not, he picks and reads it unhesitatingly. 167Please respect copyright.PENANApWgYBmsxOT
“Love me? Stay with me? No one’s going nowhere!”167Please respect copyright.PENANAOmSpRih46J
When his voice was over, Morpheus had goosebumps. That sentence shows that the writer felt irritable and indignant. He mumbled, “What happened?”167Please respect copyright.PENANAGwHKMh1GoW
He knows something happened with the writer. Although his memory is lost, curiosity never disappears. Let's say it can recall him. It is not wrong to read this daily book, isn’t it? “Love me? Stay with me?…”167Please respect copyright.PENANAvkmpKd0NXc
…He’s back…He’s back167Please respect copyright.PENANAEpTCSD2pa2
No sooner had not Morpheus finished yet than the mysterious voice floated through the air.167Please respect copyright.PENANAQsaQENdDPQ
“Who’s there?” 167Please respect copyright.PENANAt9MSpo49Im
Nothing still happens. Then the old man begins to open to the next page. “I don't know who will read this…”167Please respect copyright.PENANAcqxRP8BeN3
It is so surprising that Morpheus comes back here and reads a mysterious one. Nobody knows whether it is time that the writer will get an answer or set ‘something’ free.167Please respect copyright.PENANArCAaVsFzhQ
……I don’t know who will read this but I am just the one child that wants to tell some of my painful stories. All of my relatives have died, and I am so lonely. I want love. I want to be cared for like other children. Why am I so alone? All the people I love abandoned me. Whoever, Please… Please don’t leave me alone! If there is someone who falls in love with me and I love you too, please stay with me forever. I won’t let my beloved person go anywhere. I am scared to say bye-bye. I don’t want to say this word!167Please respect copyright.PENANAc16NONmMSi
The old man reads aloud slowly and flips a paper to read the next page with his long slender fingers.167Please respect copyright.PENANAuXxYEZmU1n
I am just the boy that scarcely ever accomplished anything. I am not good at studying like my brother but, he is better than me at everything. My dad and my mom never loved me even my uncle and aunt. They hardly care about me.167Please respect copyright.PENANAT1FfFIe63e
Before my father died due to a Cerebrovascular accident, I cursed my father for always being with me. That was so bad. I know but I won't let him go anywhere. Dad never went anywhere. I saw his spirit made a living, never going anywhere. I'm even more glad to see my father come around like this.167Please respect copyright.PENANAyBfxcFJfqB
One day, my uncle and aunt had to move into the city. Why? I cursed them to stay with me forever. Forever and eternity!! I later heard the news that both had a car accident. The next day, I heard the doorbell ringing. It turned out that was my uncle and aunt's spirit. I was very satisfied. I told them. They finally stayed with me!167Please respect copyright.PENANANBpGORtkGd
My brother needed to study far from home because he got into a famous university. My mom was very happy to know that, but I was not delighted anymore!! I confessed how I feel about my brother.167Please respect copyright.PENANA8lwN3Cv7tt
“Everyone doesn’t love me. No one cares about me. Everyone loves only you! I never am devoted” I say gloomily.167Please respect copyright.PENANALczZqK3oUs
“Calm down! You must distinguish, you know? You never succeed at anything. No one can help you, damn! You so suck.167Please respect copyright.PENANAq9Ssj5RU5Z
“Everyone has no power over me! And you will know, even uncle and aunt must obey me!”167Please respect copyright.PENANAOnswZNtp3H
I bluffed him.167Please respect copyright.PENANA8NFDXeLNoy
When that day has come. My mom had to take my brother to the university. I cursed my brother for not doing anything thoroughly. But the spirits of my father, uncle, and aunt were coming to inhibit me.167Please respect copyright.PENANAgjBn86rpA9
1 month later.167Please respect copyright.PENANAF3ac3Vjtqh
My mom began to be sick because of breast cancer. A few days later, my brother died after he went to a camp. After my mom knew that my mom’s condition deteriorated suddenly. On the other hand, I was very happy to know that. 167Please respect copyright.PENANA2oBfOsIqv6
I smiled with a smirking face. I looked at the stairs and saw my brother’s spirit. I chuckled while saying 167Please respect copyright.PENANAejbHIkWWZf
“come back?”167Please respect copyright.PENANA7S5xKVnTr9
After my brother’s funeral, my mom couldn't stand it anymore, the doctor said that she was in the last stage of cancer. She couldn’t live more than 1 month. Meanwhile, my mom contacted the almoner to adopt me if there was someone who wanted to patronize me.167Please respect copyright.PENANAk6IKGgZWzU
I always kept an eye on my mom. My mom told me that you must have a better life.167Please respect copyright.PENANACNcGHK68o8
“I finished contacting the almoner to adopt you. You should have a better life. Don't worry about me.” said mom.167Please respect copyright.PENANAgHRocVdsBt
“Don’t be worried, mom. Everyone is with us now; they never go anywhere.” I soothe her.167Please respect copyright.PENANApOwXCXGn88
“What are you talking about?”167Please respect copyright.PENANARnbZaGgwCU
“My dad never loved me. I know that dad was cheating on you. The uncle and aunt flattered only my brother. When I failed an exam, they only sneered at me. The fucking bro too! He always disdains me and sees outsiders as more important than family even though we are very careful of him. There are only you that love me.167Please respect copyright.PENANA41LzbpIpl8
Anger comes to my mind.167Please respect copyright.PENANAVH8KJtpWM1
“You know what? Everyone loves you very much.” she added.167Please respect copyright.PENANAvVys1SkUMN
“They didn’t love me if I didn't force them!”167Please respect copyright.PENANAFNDRZ7gsN0
“What do you mean?” My mother is curious.167Please respect copyright.PENANAmn3ZVqhlod
“I've always been with them all the time.”167Please respect copyright.PENANAM0rJcMGYrw
Her eyes show me that she wants an answer.167Please respect copyright.PENANAGcGYMxqGbc
“Because I cursed my father, uncle, aunt, and fuckin brother to stay with me. At our home!”167Please respect copyright.PENANA1LjVQl89tu
“You! Mo..!”167Please respect copyright.PENANAVacSnfWNXs
“Mom! Please don't blame me. If I don't do that, they'll leave us.”167Please respect copyright.PENANAQbqHLnV26B
“All good things must come to an end. No one can be together forever. You understand?167Please respect copyright.PENANAu8EcmNBdT8
“No! God can't do, but I can.167Please respect copyright.PENANA1IZDCkwhJi
I was displeased and walked out of the room. It was the same night that my mother was in a severe condition, she had to go to the ICU. I was very shocked. I took care of her not far away, but it was too late! The person I loved the most has passed away.167Please respect copyright.PENANAu8jFLg5BJk
I returned home with a dimness. After coming home, I saw all the spirits cry out. They begged me to let them go. I did not listen and walked into the secret room to bring a red diary to write!167Please respect copyright.PENANAYOoGffWUAL
“Mom. I ask you to come back, come back, come back!” 167Please respect copyright.PENANAh8R7fOxfwd
A boy cuts my wrist and pours his blood on the paper.167Please respect copyright.PENANAOlPhO3eBPB
PANG!!!167Please respect copyright.PENANA2dgsVH610D
With the sound of light striking, all spirits were sucked into the book. The last one was mom. After finishing, I kept my diary in the old place and walked out of the house. Then I fainted in front of the house with the rain falling like the tears of an unloved child!167Please respect copyright.PENANAyG4IhZo0kb
The old man starts. It seems like all afflictions are swooping down on him, and at the same time, many question marks are popping up in his head and can be seen through his blue eyes. How does it end? Who wrote it? And where are the five spirits that this boy cursed?167Please respect copyright.PENANAdFUpURQewe
Morpheus quickly flips the pages to see the story as if he wants to know how much the result suffered everybody. The long slender fingers try to find it. His face shows engrossed. Unfortunately, the story and its puzzle also remain on the same page.167Please respect copyright.PENANAB4ntPZ8Y5v
A page that has been stamped with red blood!167Please respect copyright.PENANAnpLBVIAwpz
Thud!167Please respect copyright.PENANAKeWA9zX709
Something is blowing away to the floor from the book.167Please respect copyright.PENANABWOHqrkd3u
Morpheus is dumb. His eyes are looking at one. Coming to this old home makes him detect many weird things, especially the feeling that people are welcoming him from the beginning. He reaches for it–the small photo that is hidden in the book–and flips over it for obviousness that he is trying to discover. 167Please respect copyright.PENANACPBKWAJ6sz
Impossible!167Please respect copyright.PENANAcYRrDr7ein
The photo of a boy who happily smiled and posed in front of this home. That smile on his cheeks is in high spirits and powerful. On the other hand, it tries to give a clue to a watcher. The edge of the photo was signed to be a possessor. The old man focuses on the sign, afterward, remembers it at once.167Please respect copyright.PENANAohfYdSfXgW
The possessor is Morpheus–Morpheus in a different age.167Please respect copyright.PENANA46NdIrXGeg
It's me…Morpheus167Please respect copyright.PENANAfep2HedXXx
Damn it!167Please respect copyright.PENANAM9Vabw1N2X
The old man feels a piercing pain in his head, and wails. The world empties in the blink of an eye. Please do not tell me that he is a person who cursed my real family. And where are they? Confused…So confused!167Please respect copyright.PENANAazeWs89nel
Even though the square room is dim, sunlight, passing through the perforated and small shutter above his head, lights up a corner of the room. The atmosphere around him is getting cooler for no particular reason. The mysterious wind softly and softly touches his skin until he gets goosebumps. He senses that someone is standing behind him. Someone needs to be free from the curse that is created by being afraid of loss and farewell from a boy who grew up hardily and now sits in a wheelchair.167Please respect copyright.PENANAwRsfz86VlU
…My son167Please respect copyright.PENANAvSeHieMi58
Morpheus turns around. What he sees shocks the 69-year-old man. Five bodies covered with the gray fog step up to talk with him slowly.167Please respect copyright.PENANAayORZ0wr3f
“Finally, you’re back to us…to release us.”167Please respect copyright.PENANAEXz8dI6vwf
“Who’s your son? I’m the rich son!”167Please respect copyright.PENANAza32Jek2pj
He did not take it very well. The truth, past, and affliction return to him and are chaotic to almost make him feel queasy. And then…167Please respect copyright.PENANAG3ARgksDoS
“Ouchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”167Please respect copyright.PENANA4jZ2stipT4
The big body falls on the floor, i.e., a tough time he cursed and left the real family stuck in the bond which mixed his emotions. One of them is the fear of saying bye-bye.167Please respect copyright.PENANATIGoFt7TVz
“How is he?” 167Please respect copyright.PENANAoUjmMX4qTX
Phoebe murmurs. Her beautiful eyes are looking at the trap door all the time. 167Please respect copyright.PENANAEtfF1QLePm
“Wake up! Wake up!”167Please respect copyright.PENANAAyJrQRecxc
The cool voice wakes the special guest up.167Please respect copyright.PENANAwgi4vqkLcN
“Ai..ii”167Please respect copyright.PENANAVyXMR0Fpaq
The headache returns, meanwhile his eyes are widely opened. The seeing of Morpheus is so unclear like the remorseful heart even if he has fled this fault all his life.167Please respect copyright.PENANAcjx5vM6qSV
“Are you okay?”167Please respect copyright.PENANAIKGKEyuvBa
The real mother asked him kindly. The paralyzed man is crawling to sit inconveniently then casts a glance at five spirits.167Please respect copyright.PENANAqlcm4PkkIb
“No one’s going nowhere.”167Please respect copyright.PENANAaP6XtNHrFb
Morpheus gasp out.167Please respect copyright.PENANAe9XtRCwyv4
“Bro!” At the end of a brother’s voice, he is rushing into the special guest irritably. Suddenly, his father catches him.167Please respect copyright.PENANAyoVjqCTAnu
“Stay calm.”167Please respect copyright.PENANAowADcXnexE
“You see…Dad was dead. You have always cared about bro! though. This is the reason why I should let you go.”167Please respect copyright.PENANAnRyHK4LDfp
“We love you. since you went, we haven’t been happy.”167Please respect copyright.PENANAdXa8t6uP23
His aunt added.167Please respect copyright.PENANAXH9dAKkRMa
“Don’t you see that nothing lasts forever? Every life has a way to go darling. Look at yourself. you…you get older and older. What makes you heavy, put it down.”167Please respect copyright.PENANAY4BePFHsua
Her life was gone, but her motherhood is never buried with the dead body.167Please respect copyright.PENANAt745Cpzm2Q
“That's unfair! The time I'm sad. Who will redeem it for me? When you celebrated because my brother just got a good grade, was there anyone who knew that I was hurt alone? And when it was my turn to get what I deserved, everyone went away. Don't love me? Don't want to stay with me?”167Please respect copyright.PENANASalP5xZoiI
Morpheus at the age of sixty-nine is weeping.167Please respect copyright.PENANA8uA8YfiXxK
“We know we hurt you son. But we can't go back in time to solve it. Today, we wanna say sorry, and want you to forgive us as well.”167Please respect copyright.PENANAJQNqRMlG9K
The cursed spirits repent.167Please respect copyright.PENANA3xOagdTkTK
The old man closes his eyes, shakes his head, and swallows like he wants to say something.167Please respect copyright.PENANAs3Ix3xEUAr
“I'm sorry.”167Please respect copyright.PENANAd4zDBZzVyP
Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!167Please respect copyright.PENANARfcktjhqUn
“Since I had a new life, I have tried to flee the past…everything. I got happiness that I had never got. Until I met Phoebe…the girl I love, we were married.”167Please respect copyright.PENANAto9fn3v5nr
He is wiping tears. From the bottom of his heart, He feels terrible stabbing pains in his chest.167Please respect copyright.PENANA6mn5Hs6Jg4
“Alright…I will set you free.”167Please respect copyright.PENANAO0GbuyaMow
Morpheus had the true answer that many love him. Despite stubbornness to ignore the past–he hurt his family—it is all over. His family is fading away together with their bright smile like the sunlight before everything in the blue eyes becomes darker.167Please respect copyright.PENANA1zJIhTvM1u
“Honey! Honey!”167Please respect copyright.PENANAhOFrqGNaAI
Every bond ends in line with the waiting. The leftovers are just a memory and a phrase resounding in his head.167Please respect copyright.PENANA2uAz7IeCoG
…Bye Bye167Please respect copyright.PENANAVBj9o9tjRj
Since he faints away, he must be under the supervision of a doctor. That is so strange that he is getting worse. Recently, Morpheus’s diagnosis shows he had a major stroke and breaks Phoebe’s heart. After he regains, he gives the blonde wife parting instructions that if he died, his wife and a child would have to bury the red daily book with him for ceasing physical fixedness.167Please respect copyright.PENANAFajqWd8o3H
A month later…167Please respect copyright.PENANA6DALWORs0W
Morpheus passes away. Phoebe carries out his intention. Although she feels so blue, she is satisfied!167Please respect copyright.PENANA1LhtxHA2C4
Do you think it's done, honey?167Please respect copyright.PENANAPI0R9Yw4H8
Two black high heels tread on the green grass helping the graveyards not to be deserted. A wearer goes straight to the grave which she does not want to be there. The sky now is grey like her clothes and heart. That black dress is so fashionable and brightens her every movement. Then she stops and picks up something from her tote.167Please respect copyright.PENANAtv7TVqclCY
It is Morpheus’s red daily book!167Please respect copyright.PENANADKjVGqjLYY
“I'm so sorry that I didn't throw it away, honey,” said Phoebe.167Please respect copyright.PENANAn8KcrynLPu
No…167Please respect copyright.PENANAb3xp8rWhay
It's new Phoebe.167Please respect copyright.PENANAv3xDKfrHup
“I read it all. That's so touching. You're not different from your father. A fucking womanizer! Not only cheating but also leaving me shameful was terrible. And now, you left me. No. I won't let you go!”167Please respect copyright.PENANACIPYuAAloa
Phoebe smirks.167Please respect copyright.PENANAtWswZFODbw
“Don't be worried. I will write it down. Let’s go our hell.”167Please respect copyright.PENANA5GyX6cQNsQ
She turns back while she is chuckling.167Please respect copyright.PENANAMAqhQ3ETjC
Nobody knows how long that book will end or if it has a sequel. Sometimes, we should fear the devil's power from a writer because it may increase. Also, ordinary people have love, greed, anger, and lust. As time goes by, they may be stimulated by our hands.167Please respect copyright.PENANAQTUckttHTi
Physical fixedness is the dark side of people and makes us afraid of farewell. Have you heard all good things must come to an end? Our lives are all good things. To come to an end is death. The point is that before we die, do we dare to apologize and go?167Please respect copyright.PENANAzWTehQNygp
It may be true that the hardest thing to do is to say…167Please respect copyright.PENANA3HYPlFF65P
Bye Bye167Please respect copyright.PENANAG1FaHu5YPA
