The sequel to my dream is still a dream.
My older brother is gone.
Normally, he does not stay for long. The longest is only ten days, but once he went away it would last for months, or even years.
I am not interested in knowing what his work is, and I am already old enough to not cry when he left. Besides, it makes no difference whether he is gone or not.
I silently stare at the plastic tableware in the bin.
Despite being able to buy proper tableware, he chose to let me do as I pleased. I am not sure he did that because he is an older brother or because he did not want to feel attached to this house.
I look around the house… There is nothing of my brother's belongings left.
His personal belongings are all disposable items.
Not a trace of him is left on the following day, the following month, or the following year…
That is why…
'I really hate him.'
I scan the house and let out a sigh.
…I am all alone once again.
My dream has become less annoying.
