"Adventure of a Curious Soul"

LET'S OPEN THE PRESENT?

I couldn't decide on what to make, I'm in the mood for Mac&Cheese. I began cooking my dinner and made Ice-tea. I'm tired, I should relax a little, I went to take a warm bath, helped me relax my muscles and calmed my thoughts. I changed into my comfortable attire and took my dinner to my living-room, I switched on TV and looked for a good show. I ended up choosing the series '2 Broke Girls', I can very well relate with them, I too am broke, just like them. Aren't I charming?. I love comedy shows and movies. It's relaxing and well, I love to laugh. I was munching on my dinner and laughing like a hyena while watching the show.

Do I really need to clean up? I feel so lethargic, I still need to clean the mess. In the beginning, I used to leave my mess and it piled up within a week. It used to take me hours to clean the mess. I learned to 'clean as soon as I create the mess'; Ironically, this statement also applies for our situation in life. Take immediate action for emotional crisis before it piles up and create a huge messy, confusing dirty emotion and messy thoughts. I feel lazy but this is the right way to live. A sign of relief left the moment my tired body lied on bed, warmth engulfed me as I wrapped the blanket, my eyes were blinking and I couldn't stop yawning, my mind like every other night replayed the entire day before I could fall to sleep; reminded me of the cottage, the case and the video camera.

My body got up with a bolt declining the exhaustion. Curiosity to know the story took a toll on my mind and body. My mind was making assumptions, what could be there in the case? Is it love-letters? And the videos, are those travelling vlogs of the vintage days of the couple of the cottage? I behave dreamy sometimes, I should stop, I get cringed at my own personality. The anticipation was killing me. Upon unlocking the case, there were few photographs in the case. After going through photographs, I managed to turn on the video-camera. Surprisingly, even after the video-camera being rusty, it is still in a good condition. The case is lovely and the key is vintage, the camera works well. Apparently, the photographs and videos aren't. A wave of shock went through my spine, I didn't expect what I saw. I don't know how to react? This is nightmare. I'm trembling, I don't know what to do?

I sat still in the same position, holding photographs in one hand, I paused the video. This is quite shocking and truly sad. I feel despair watching the videos and the photos. My mind was blank. I couldn't think straight. In this havoc, I forgot about the letter in the case. Should I read it? Do I want to? I'm gonna regret reading this. The smell of old paper hit me as I opened the letter. The paper is rusty and there are dried spots. I believe whoever was writing, was crying. Maybe, the person was struggling to write, the handwriting is sloppy and there are tear spots on the paper.
