it was before i took a nap that i recalled my dreams yesterday night.

dad came back. we lived together happily for a period of time.

one day he disappeared.

i walked past the sides of the vast ocean waters. and i thought i saw the back view of a human figure in the waters.

it suddenly occurred to me that. dad was long gone. and the figure that came back to us was just a manifestation of my deepest desire. apparently some spirits heard it and decided to fulfill it for a moment.

the day when the figure disappeared was when the spirits heard a voice elsewhere and decided to correspond to it instead.

hence the disappearance.

and the emptiness that follows. yet again.
