The view is as it always was. The moment when B woke up in the morning, his throat made a sound. The sound might be the ghost in his mind. The sound traveled faster than what he could see, so the moment he opened his eyes, there was no ghost.
B grabbed C’s hair in the dark. He’s the ghost you’re looking for. Don’t let it go. C once thought that he had removed the redundancies. He then became a redundancy as well. As he posed as a graceful and fearless person, he was in fact shrinking on the inside. B looks at him as if he were a lengthy movie filled with slogans, struggling to find its closure. B finds it amusing and hilarious. If only we knew how to smile wryly to ourselves without a mirror.
One day, B went to a city by the sea, planning to stay there for a week. He wanted to be in a city by the sea, and sit watching little fish in the creek swimming at ease. He booked a little hotel with small rooms. He thought of staying for 4 or 5 nights instead of going to other cities. He checked himself into the small room at the little hotel. The next day, he booked another hotel nearby with a larger room and a larger lobby. He did not cancel the room at the little hotel. Therefore, starting from the second day, he had two lodgings at different locations, yet they were not far from each other. He woke up in the little hotel’s room before taking a shower. He dined at the little hotel for breakfast. Then, bringing along his laptop and a couple of books, he wandered to the larger hotel. On the morning of day 4, he had breakfast at the little hotel as usual. He woke up late that day, so he went to have breakfast first. He was not hungry. He did so just to have a little more routine in his life. He finished his breakfast, and put the utensils and bowls on the recycle rack. He touched where his wallet was in his back pocket subconsciously. Then, he went to the counter and took out his keycard to check out. Both his luggage and his passport still remained in the room. Perhaps the keycard of the other hotel was there as well. The reception staff did not see him carrying any bag or luggage. Feeling puzzled, they did not ask him about it, nevertheless. Then, he left the little hotel, without taking a shower that morning.
