27 Feb 11.20 pm Scene: The kampung house. In the flickering light of the single oil lamp. Abang reading Sejarah Melayu. Mak struggling for life. Midwife perspiring. Abah in the jungle hunting. Siblings sleeping.
Then the clock striked once. I screeeaaamed!!! and gulped for air. Then suddenly there were knocks on the door. Abang smiled. Mak and the housewife sighed with relief. That was my first encounter with life.
