I walked along a bumpy road
with no end in sight. I looked around for a place to rest my tired leg. Far
away, there is a bundle of green paper. The hope that it might be a pile of
money has made me busy. The closer I got, the more confident I was that it was
money. But a man closely followed me. The pace quickened with the impatience
that I had to grab the money before this man picked it up.
Finally I grabbed the money
and thrust it into both pockets. I looked back. The man who was close behind
seemed not saw the money that had fallen. I walked slowly along the road,
feeling the touch of a hefty sum of money in my pocket, with a smile on my face
as if nothing had happened.
I woke up at the sound of a
sharp garbage collection that seemed to separate the early morning air. Ah! The
dark green of the dollar was so clear!
Every day I open my mailbox,
hoping that there will be no troubling, if not welcome news. While looking at
the letter with a serious face, I exhale relief, and quickly throws away the
letter I will throw away and dispose of the bill I will have to pay. What I
hope is that today like yesterday was a peaceful day.
At one time, because of the
bills to pay, I wanted to flee to somewhere else. Should I go to Haenam?
Someone said Haenam is a village at the end of the earth, so how come follow me
to the end of the earth? Or should I believe in Unification Church? I heard
that if I believe in Unification Church, I can guarantee a basic life. The fate
of immigrants seems to be that they are hard to get out of the nervousness of
the early days of immigration.
I opened the mailbox with
nervousness. An orange piece of paper stands out. The orange paper say,
"if you have a studio where you can shoot a movie, please contact
me." There's something smell of some serious money.
Last night's dream will come
true? I contacted there soon. A man quickly came to see as if he was nearby. He
took the inside of the studio with a camera, and then said, he'll talk to the
manager first and contact to me. The manager and the interior designer
came right away. The room needs to be changed a little, so it takes a day to
prepare, a day to shoot and a day to return to its original position. It all
takes three days. The amount of studio fees offered was higher than I expected.
If I make a contract, a big
sum of money is simply in hand. I was excited and bought a box of wine that I
always drink. Drinking wine, and if I get the big money, I try to figure out
where to spend it.
First of all, I will go to
take care of my skin that my friend said is good price and good service. Let's
get rid of the freckles and raise the drooping eyelids. I've lived without a TV
for a long time, but let's get a flat TV. Then, visit the younger son in
Bangkok and visit Haenam where is at the end of the earth. My head was busy
studying what to do with the money dozens of times a day.
After signing the contract,
I deposited the check in the bank and came back home. "Oh my god"
something happen that is going to cost was waiting at home. I forgot that if I
have any money I don't think of, there's always a corner to spend.
