A Letter to Home, Part 1

I want to work on a side project for a bit. It will either be this one, Bizarre Terrors, or Grandmaster Strategist.

Dad, Mom:

How are you?

It's been a year since I left the country but I never wrote you any letters. I read the ones you emailed me many times. I am deeply moved by them but at the same time I didn't know what to do. So I hadn't replied. I don't know how to begin. It always seemed like there's nothing to say when you called but that doesn't mean I don't miss you.

I won't be coming home for New Year's day. I have told you the reason in the call so I won't repeat it here. As for the future, it's difficult to say if I can go back. I encountered something. Something extremely strange, absurd, and unbelievable. This is what this email is about. I know you are going to laugh at me never growing up. Maybe you will scold me for lying, coming up with an absurd excuse for not coming home. But please believe your son this once. He's not a successful person, he tells likes, he's immature at this age, but please believe me, just this once.

I am possessed by a ghost.

That's right. I am possessed. I can imagine your surprised expression or laughing it off as a joke. Perhaps you are going to simply close this stupid email. Yet, a sense of indescribable terror enveloped my heart when I wrote those words.
