Old Objects


When opening the door of the desert house, we can definitely have such a feeling - A world is inside the house...


There are stories about spirits learning on objects when the owners died and waiting for the night coming or quiet atmosphere to do something strange through those objects: causing ghostly sound or looming when their relatives are in sleep. Such unbelievable stories always leave the obsession: The very old objects seem to be hidden by secret spirits, especially antique objects. Do people love their objects too much to imagine such stories? Anyway, it is the thruth people have to believe: Each objects has its own story and "destiny".


Sometimes, fugitive thinking suddenly appears in people's mind: Why does this object live with them but the others do not? why does the objects someday belong to them though it is too far from them even a distance of ocean? It is thought to be fate that "the object looks for its owner" or vice versa. People with their characters and habit cannot give bad behavior to their objects, especially those which go with them for a long time! The old does not have the heart to throw an object although it is too old and out of use value. A rusted milk can ( used for measuring rice but for oil-lamp support now), an oil lamp in the time of not having electricity, a dry ink pot, a flower vase with cracked rim (used for containing incense), a mosquito-net, an 30-40 years old ragged blanket. They are memories and said to be a little spirit of people. The rotation will take place when people have to "kill" an object for the replacement of the other and then it will start a new unclear life. Also, "unmoved" objects in many years, which are suddenly discovered, wish to say something but having to keep silent due to the too thick time dust. When opening the door of the desert house, we can definitely have such a feeling - A world is inside the house...
