I have realized since long that my lazy brain likes dreaming, wondering... without any point at all. Without some intelligence to control it, the result would be catastrophic. As the result, I put all those things my brain tries to claim as its product, when it's only cliche things happened in my life.
Like this.
Keringat bercucuran membasahi dahiku.
Mataku berlinang hantu yang hidup segan mati tak mau. Tercium daging yang membusuk, makin lama makin bau. Rangka yang tersisa, tulang - tulang yang tak lagi bersatu.
Ada orang berkata, segala yang buruk pasti akan tercium baunya. Deodoran sepuluh botol pun takkan mampu menyembunyikan aromanya. Kalau begitu, tinggal tunggu waktu saja sebelum orang menelanjangi kubur para pendosa.
Dan peluh menyiram cangkulku, cangkul yang menerabas batuan yang menghalangiku. Napasku makin memburu, makin nafsu. Kututup mataku, kulenyapkan ngeriku, kurangsang birahiku.
Aku mengangkat mayat itu, matanya memantulkan wajahku.
Nothing could be worse.
