ABSTRACT

During the year of the snake, the God of the Sun came to stay in my body. It made my body shaky all over—and I fainted. Upon awakening, I can remember as I opened my eyes that it was very dark. I then went to the rice fields to find someone to ask them what time it was. A voice shouted 10 o’clock. Suddenly, the owls began to cry and all the animals which represented death were howling all around me. I could also barely see a small group of people whispering to each other in the forest. I became so frightened that I tried to calm myself by praying to all the Gods and the angels in heaven to protect me from danger. I was so paralyzed with fear that I was unable to walk either backwards or forwards.
