The poet's journal
Episode 3:
As Dan picked up the container, he imagined what could be inside it
He examine the structure, there was some inscriptions on it which he could not see well due to the paintings on it, he reached out for something to scratch off the painting, he didn't see anything to use so he got up and quickly dashed into the kitchen with the container in his hands , he found the kitchen knife and immediately set to work , he scratched the painting gently to avoid scratching off the words too,
Finally he succeeded, he cleaned the container with his hands and bent it horizontally to see the inscriptions on it.
It was his late wife's letter box.
She stored her written letters inside it,
The inscription was " Letter in special places
With expectation and uncertainty written all over his face, he hurriedly opened the container to know the content,
He removed the cover which was black plastic with a golden flower design and poured out the content on the floor,
He then picked one letter after another to read
He read the letters he sent her during her school days , he can't help but smile as he read his own words
He read one of the letters when he had gotten her attention and was now professing undying love for her
He wrote; ' Kathy'( as he fondly called her )
" My love shines brightly like the sun,
Every morning I wake up to see it shine through my window, I can't help but smile my heart out because I am deeply in love....."
He smiled brightly and continued with another script,
He laughed out as he read one and more scripts
He suddenly came across a script that was half torn ,he searched for the other half and found it lying under the other scripts,he reached out for it and tried placing it together, with eagerness he started reading it ,as he read through he widened his eyes in bewilderment, it was a letter that Jane wrote to his wife two days before her tragic demise.
