Dusk was falling as the boy stepped inside a loosely opened gate in a semi-maintained cemetery. The roof was rusting and the gate screamed soft creaks as the wind pushed it in and out periodically.  

How many years has it been?

He took a deep, ominous breath while looking at the newly brushed mausoleum, a vibrant picture of the man smiling, in his white, semi-formal polo. It faded with years but it looked like it has just been cleaned.

3 years. 

Crows caw as he stepped forward, trailing his fingers over the cold, stone panteon. He sighed before clapping his dust-lathered fingers as he sat on the granite mounding. 

"Yah, how'd you doing?"

He smiled, softly brushing the stone plaque in front of him - cleaning the excess dust with his hand, blowing through it just to be sure.

"...still missing you until today..."

He smiled painfully as he looked at the name inscribed above the stone plate:


Metawin Opas-iamkajorn
Laid to Rest
1999-2021


A cold wind blew and it crept inside Bright's thick clothes. Rustles and flaps echoed throughout the cold, tranquil place. The smell of old and dust covering over the place. It has turned dark and it looked like it was about to rain. The eerie feeling reigned over his sad, raging heart.

"Beautiful melody, laid to rest early."

A chilly, trembling low voice echoed. A melancholic melody engulfing, breezing together with the gusts.

"Pitter Patter Pitter Patter.
Tick... Tock... Tick... Tock..."

He turned when he heard it coming closer ... and closer. And he saw it standing just outside the old, crippling gate.

"If given something. Can it change everything?
Are you sure you're able, even in parables, cheat your future?"
