Your Gift Shall be Your Death
Preface. Writers are often asked where they start a story: at the beginning, the middle, or the end. Sometimes, there is no answer to this age-old question. Parts of this story may be fact-driven, or it may be just a fantasy or a bad dream driven by a concussion in a serious auto accident. We will let you, the reader, be the judge. One thing is for sure: By the end of this short story, the reader will know it was not created by A.I.

Mount Rakutak beautiful Indonesia
Mount Rakutak, beautiful with its mystical stories Archives Indonesia Category: True StoriesN ow I will tell you about my experience when I was at the top of Mount Rakutak with a height of 1954 meters above sea level. This mountain is not very famous, but in my opinion it is better because it will maintain the authenticity and beauty of the mountain. Even though its name is not as resounding as Gede-Pangrango, Ciremai, or Semeru, this mountain has a route whose name makes anyone shudder, namely the Sirotol Mustakim route. People will definitely ask why it is named that way, this route was deliberately given that name because the danger is really real.

The steam billowed around me, a comforting curtain as I sighed, the day's stress melting away with each drop of hot water. My eyes drifted shut, the only sound the rhythmic thrumming of the showerhead and the whoosh of my ragged breaths. I was a tangled knot of exhaustion, and the warm water was slowly unraveling me.

KITCHEN PRINGS
KITCHEN PRINGS Chapter Two.Go back home Isha's time had long passed, when Aditya arrived at his yard. The village atmosphere is very quiet. Panjerpati Village, which is on the slopes of Mount Gedang, is indeed quiet. Residents prefer to stay at home rather than being cold in the weather outside. Aditya stared for a moment at the house he had left for the past three years. Lots of dry leaves came onto the terrace. The leaves come from the rambutan tree which is so dense in his yard. There was a panjer lamp on the terrace which he turned on before leaving. However, now the light is off. Maybe it broke because it has been on non-stop for the past three years. Before his feet stepped on the terrace, the tall boy turned to the house next door. His eyes were fixed on the adult waist-high wall that separated his house from Paklik Samsul's house. It seemed like a new wall, because before he left the wall didn't exist. After exhaling slowly, Aditya stepped into the house. When the door opened, a musty air invaded his sense of smell. He walked along the side of the wall to look for a switch to turn on the living room lamp. Unfortunately, the light also went out. He turned on the living room light. And the result is the same. The boy snorted in annoyance then took groping steps towards the small cupboard next to the television. Usually, when the mother was still alive, she liked to put candles there. That's the only hope. After searching hard, his hand finally managed to touch the white object. Aditya took a lighter from his trouser pocket, then lit the candle. The candlelight immediately illuminated the entire room even though it wasn't very bright. The boy plopped down on the dusty sofa. All the furniture is dusty, the floor is also very dirty. Three years have really made this house cobwebbed and stuffy.
