Chapter 4
The Poet's Epitaph
Three years ago… a pink rabbit was in her house, it was a wooden, and small, little home, but the girl had peace and harmony in this home, 'cause this is where she belonged…
I was in my room, currently I was cleaning it, its been weeks since I last cleaned it…
"there, finally, im done…" I stretch my arms and heave a loud sigh, I jump onto my bed and stare at the ceiling…
"its only a few more days until the Christmas festival…" your probably wondering what that is, well, its not like the Christmas day or Christmas party you have, it's a special festival that starts on the dawn of September, Christmas festival is a festival where we celebrate the beginning of the four months of Christmas, these months are also called the 'ber' months since it starts in September, then October, followed by November, and finally, December… December is the real start of Christmas, but we begin it on September for the preparations, and now, it's only a few more days until the festival…
I cant wait! Then suddenly I snap out of my excitement, I hear a loud knock on the door, I ran down the stairs and head to the door, but at the moment I reach the door, the atmosphere that was filled with happiness earlier, I feel like it'll all crumble if I open this door…
"Why do I feel this way..?" I laugh at myself for thinking of such things, but… my hands starts trembling, and then my face starts to feel numb… I feel like the atmosphere had already been replaced, I haven't even opened the door..! No… I already opened it, but time around me suddenly stopped, as if it's a warning, my breath, I can't breathe… why? What could be so horrifying that would make me feel this way? I'm suffocating… then finally, just when time moved again, I realized what I got myself into, this feeling… this fear… at first I wouldn't believe it, but when the door opened, I… i… my mind cant even process what im thinking, or what I should do…
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Current time, September 18, a few weeks before the Christmas festival, at the nearby hospital, a blue rabbit is seen having a conversation with the head doctor.
"What?" that can't be…
"Yes, your friend had died 26 hours ago; it seems that he died from heart failure. I'm very sorry…" Dr. Dan takes out a cigarette and starts to smoke, I came here to check on Lee, but, Lee died… 26 hours ago from a heart attack…
"its okay, I just wish I knew him more…" I turn around and look outside the window, again the rain is there, almost like it never stops, well, it'll be winter soon, but… I can't help but think… "go back to your own world..!" what did he mean by those words..?
"But... He left this short note behind…" Dan takes out a small piece of paper and hands it to me…
I read it out loud:
"To anyone who reads this, if you throw a tiny stone in the lake, even the moon's reflection may be changed, when you cross the street with your mother, doesn't she explain why the road is dangerous after you cross the street? The tiny frog in the well wasn't confused, he was contented, because he never knew what lies outside the well, the cat was stuck at the highest tower, he would have to jump down to reach her home, will that cat take that risk just to get home? Even if it'd cost her life…
To anyone reading this, this note is the key for the 'reality breaker' to change the fate of this world… please, so called 'reality breaker' disclose and save, this world from the harsh reality it'll face, that is my only wish…
-Lee Bi Long"
"What a disturbing message..." Dan looks at the note and tries to find the meaning behind it… I too, am confused, but, this is Lee's last wish, if this is like a riddle, you want be to solve, then I'll do it… I clench my fist, and I promise, ill save this world…
I look around, still holding the note, but then a stretcher with doctors holding it rushes inside, wait… is that Yuck? I see Yuck in tears, he was holding the stretcher too, out of my curiosity I ran to Yuck, then doctors enter the emergency room with the stretcher, I never noticed, but there was an unfortunate person covered and restrained in the stretcher… the moment Yuck sees me, he runs to me, still crying…
"Yuck, what's wrong? Who was that person on the stretcher?" I ask him, in a rather demanding way…
"Yang..!" he sobs and I cant understand his words clearly... "tha… that…" the words in his statement are cut due to his sobs and loud cry… "Person… was…she… was…" he tries to tell me, but his mouth looks numb from so much tears…
"tell me! Who was that person?" I grab his shoulders and yell at him.. "Tell me!" then Yuck calms down, and there was a bit of silence in the atmosphere, from the loud despair from Yuck earlier, the only thing I could hear, was the sound of the soft rain outside…
Yuck comes near me and whispers something in my ear… "Yin..." was the only word he said… but then, I finally realize it...! the thunder outside starts roaring and I drop to my knees, the rain almost sounds like it was there just to make me feel the sorrow I should feel, in this atmosphere… "that person…" I slowly turn around and look at the emergency room… "was…" the thunder cries one loud roar… "Yin…"
