Damn. What a hot day.I wish I didn‛t have that ?#%@&@ maths class after this.
Eh?! What‛s that noise?
Bloody creaking cupboard. I should really get the hall office to take a look at it.
What on... is this?!An interdimensional portral?
A worm hole? Will it grant me magic
wishes?!
ARGH. Whatever to escape from
this heat even just for a minute!!
Where am I?
Eh...? This feels like home.
<What?! Mum? Is that you?>
<Such a hot day.>*
*Translated from Mandarin
<Just that corner under the table and the vacuuming will
be done.>
A blinking flash of light later...
<It‛ll be great if Yao is back. Then I can ask him which part
of the room I should not vacuum. Later he might scream
at me again for touching his things>
<Will he come back later? I don‛t know if I should cook an extra share for him in case he
does>
<But sometimes he doesn‛t like what I cook either. Then he might go out and eat with his school friends. Then I‛d have
more wasted food...>
<Ma?>
<I‛m here! Can‛t you hear me?!?!>
<Hello?!>
<You really cannot hear me???>
<Yes. I love your cooking! Just cook more!!!>
But... I will still eat it...I will...
<Ma...?>
<Why are you talking to yourself? Don‛t ignore
me...???>
<Are you okay? Still having backaches??>
CLICK!
Wait... huh? What is this sorcery?!!?!
<Pa...?>
<Wait. You can‛t hear me too, can you?>
Oh no. :(
<Pa, do you have any idea why I‛m here...?>
<It‛s good to be back home...>
<I do hope there‛s cabbage soup today.>
A blinking flash of light later...
Where am I?
Eh...? This feels like home.
<What?! Mum? Is that you?>
<I‛m back too!!>
Hello..?
<I‛m back><Welcome back!>
<I‛m back too!!>
... ... ...
<Pa... Ma... ...>
<I‛m back>
<Is Yao back already?>
<Oh yes. It‛s only Wednes-day. That‛s terrible.
Hmmm. Maybe we should drive over and fetch him?
<Welcome back!>
<No lah, it‛s not even Friday yet. Even then, he might
need to stay over in school to finish his homework. Always not enough time.
<That‛s nice, but he may not have the time to see
us. When I called him yesterday night, he said he‛ll be pulling an all-nighter for two of his
modules!>
<Look at yourself dear. You‛re all tired out. Take a
rest first?
CLICK!
What could it be?
I never knew my parents would care so much to ask about my presence. It‛ll be
great to go back just to see them tonight.
But I still have a class in an hour... The journey back home along will be 1 hour
already!
A blinking flash of light later...
It felt so real. I can actually hear my parents conversations!
The cupboard doesn‛t seem like it‛ll “activate” itself again.
Or... maybe my soul was just dream-walking?
Wait. Was I dreaming?
Too tired?
... Damn.Stupid homework.
Ah. Heck it with classes!Mum! Dad!
I‛m coming home!
