The Unknown Mortal
I was walking towards our house when I saw a man dressed in black. He was riding a bicycle and stopped in front of our house. He opened the mail box and immediately left. I ran towards the mail box and saw a lot of mails in there. Which one did he put in here? I opened my bag and put all of the mail in there to see which one did the guy put. I ran towards my room door, making a clanging sound. I spread the letters on the floor and observed them one by one. Almost all of it were addressed to my father. But three of them were not addressed to anybody.
The first letter was covered with a silver envelope that has the scent of a fragrant perfume. I opened it and saw a blank paper. I opened the second one which was covered with a forest green envelope and has the scent of an unknown land. It was also blank! My head started to ache as I opened the last letter. This was covered with an ocean blue envelope and has the scent of a crazy sea. It was also blank. This is so confusing! I switched off the lights in my room and just opened the glow in the dark stars and planets on the ceiling.
I stared at the three blank papers and suddenly words started to appear on them. I was shocked, beads of sweat were on both of my temple and my body began to quiver. "Read this, Anaisha", I read on the first letter. That is the only thing written on the letter but a picture was attached to it. It was a silhouette of a kid. I tried to detached the picture but I wasn't able to. I clearly remember when this photo was taken. It was my eleventh birthday and we went to the beach to celebrate. How did that person get this photo?
"Hello, Anaisha", that is what was written on the second one. No picture was attached to it so I moved on to the third letter. A lot was written on it. But these were the only words that made my head really ache and my body really quiver to the coldness that surrounds me.
"Why are you still there? Don't you want to be with your soul? Come with me, we don't belong here", I stared at the last few words written in the letter. My lips were trembling as my eyes welled up with tears. "You passed away, Anaisha. You are only a body without a soul. I am you and you are dead", I heard the horrifying sound of the wind blowing as my hair began to sway with the breeze of the air. I felt the coldness of my palms as I brush them together because of the nervousness I am feeling. I turned around, faced the door with my eyes wide open.
"Hello, me", those are the last words I heard, I, myself was the last person I saw as my body unconsciously fell onto the ground.
