RE: ADsactly Short Stories - Nana
Three boys that went snail hunting did not return...
First thing that popped in my mind at that moment was his grandmother just saved him. He wanted to sneak out, but she had her instincts. They say “the King is resting”. They don’t say “He past away”, because they believe he lives forever. That’s a nice phrase for someone who passed away. Sometimes that could be misinterpreted if someone is really resting 😆. She also thinks Timothy is reincarnation of her husband. That’s what they believe in. I do believe in eternal life of our “soul”. However, I don’t believe in reincarnation. It’s really disturbing when King dies he has to be buried along with other seven heads, especially the chosen once😱. Where his friends disappearance the reason of seven heads? Fortunately, that was not the case. After five weeks unbelievably hunter searching the woods found those three boys barely alive. Of course grandma had a great explanation what happened to these three boys. It was mysterious plant in the bush making them disoriented when they touched it.
Nice story of Timothy and very well written @greenrun.
Kings never truly die, they rest until some heir takes over. Some people believe in the reincarnation, and it is not unusual to see someone to refer to a child as the reincarnate of an older member of a family that had passed on. Thanks for reading.
