If I were a Ghost|LOH challenge #107 my Entry

(Edited)

"I love serenity". That's what I told myself as I wander on the familiar meadow where I was. It had been a long time since I was in denial that I was dead and now I am a only a ghost.

Listening to the birds chirping very morning, and feeling every breeze on my skin and enjoying sunset everyday.

I fell in love to the places and built a house. I found a beautiful tree where a rock was sitting at its feet and I decorated my home with fragrant flowers which I planted first on the base of the tree and it climbed up covering the whole structure.

One night, a firefly was flying by and a frog was trying to eat him. I hid the fly on a tree leaf and hot saved it from untimely death. The night after, a swarm of fireflies flew into my house where they decorated it with her own light and stayed there since then.

But I had been doing this for God knows how long; I lost track of the days that I was alone and the serenity that I was enjoying was starting to make me feel lonely and lonelier each day.

Every night I remember the life that I used to have. And night after night it makes me sad and I was crying my tears out. My sob echoed through the empty place and it felt even more depressing. No one was there to comfort me and it made me even sadder.

There are days when I remember the good times that I used to have during the times when I was still alive and I celebrate them by singing sweet songs. My beautiful voice echoes through the place making all the insects curious and the rat look.

One fine day, I saw a man in his fifties coming my way. He was alone and he looks very familiar. On his hand a candle and a bouquet of flowers. His shoulders are down and he looks very haggard. I observed him from a distance while he lit the candle and lay the bouquet on the stone below the tree.

Only then I realized that he was my husband and the years had taken a toll on him over the years raising our kids Lone after that accident. A lot has changed; his cheeks were a little. Sunken, his eye bags huge, and his hairs are gray. And most of all, his skin is wrinkled and burnt from the sun.

I hugged him and listened to him as he sang our song when we were still younger.

He let a small knife out and dug into the soil where he pulled out our wedding rings.

It turned out that he burrowed our wedding rings after my death and promised on my dead body that he will be back for me after he go abroad and work for the kids.

He had gotten healed over the years and is letting me go. My soul was tied to the wedding rings the day we bought them from the antique store. The rings were cured that whoever will die wearing it, the soul will be trapped and suffer until the other half lets go.

I was slowly ascending and I grabbed me to my husband but he was sure of letting me go ending my suffering from loneliness.

This is my entry for Ladies of hive challenge #107 If I were a Ghost

What a beautiful story.

And I loved your own photos that told it as well! Very creative.

What language is your home language, please? I adore language and this phrase particularly grabbed me: "and hot saved it".

Hot saved... this is a direct translation of an expression and we don't have this expression in English. And it sounds awesome.

I'd like to understand it fully 😊

Once, when I was learning French, I directly translated an English expression: He sleeps like the dead." and everyone looked at me in surprise. Because in French you say: "He sleeps like a baby."

It's a much softer, more romantic language and the expressions go with this. Isn't that beautiful?

What language is "hot save" from, please? It's awesome!

I'm a Filipino but I made a lot of mistakes in typing. I am using AI to correct my world on the computer at my workplace but not on the phone where I worked on the story. I already made some edits

Hi,

Oh I don't mind at all. I'm the typo queen! My eyes are old and everything's blurry at times. Too much screentime!

This wasn't a criticism at all. Please don't take it like that, okay?

I actually really loved the expression and wanted to convert it and use it! 😁

Like - these days I use some French expressions because they're so cool, but I've translated them into English.

Such as: "What date are we today". :) In English you would say: "What is the date today." But I prefer the direct translation from French. It's far more interesting!

So, I don't know much about the Phillipines other than it looks really beautiful there and so are the people.

I Googled and found this: Tagalog and Cebuano as most common languages. Which I only know now 😬

And - if I could ask - what AI, please as I'd love to translate some of my stuff into other languages but don't think Google is much good... or maybe they've gotten better. Let's see.
 


 

Hi,

Oh wala ko kabalo. Ako ang typo queen! Ang akong mga mata tigulang na ug ang tanan hanap usahay. Sobra nga screentime!

Dili kini usa ka pagsaway sa tanan. Palihog ayawg ingon niana, okay?

Ganahan kaayo ko sa ekspresyon ug gusto nako nga i-convert kini ug gamiton! 😁

Sama sa - niining mga adlawa naggamit ako og pipila ka mga ekspresyon sa Pranses tungod kay kini cool kaayo, apan gihubad nako kini ngadto sa English.

Sama sa: "Unsang petsa kita karon". :) Sa English moingon ka: "What is the date today." Apan mas gusto nako ang direktang hubad gikan sa Pranses. Kini mas makaiikag!

So, wala kaayo koy nahibaw-an sa pilipinas gawas nga nindot kaayo didto ug ingon man ang mga tawo.

Akong gi-Google ug nakit-an kini: Tagalog ug Cebuano isip kasagarang mga pinulongan. Nga karon ra nako nahibal-an 😬

Ug - kung makapangutana ko - unsa ang AI, palihug ingon nga gusto nako nga hubaron ang pipila sa akong mga butang sa ubang mga lengguwahe apan ayaw hunahunaa nga ang Google maayo kaayo ... o tingali nag-ayo sila. Tan-awon nato.

ahaha I love you already! I speak Cebuano( bisaya as we call it) AI is artificial intelligence, I use Grammarly for now because I usually mistype and use (in/on/at) wrongly in sentences and such. Grammarly underlines the misspelled and misused words that I typed and suggests corrections to it

no, I don't see it as criticism at all, nad thank you for seeing my country that way.
