Alex lost both his parents when he was young. Both of his parents had passed away before he reached the age of 18. However, he is a cheerful and well-adjusted guy.
During his parents' funerals, a certain smell was especially poignant for him. The smell was a mix of the flowers and the white cloth that they used for curtains. Alex could never forget the smell, it was a smell that belonged to the funeral parlor.
A few weeks after the death of Alex's mother, he was having dinner with his aunt, when a moth came into the kitchen.
His aunt saw the moth and said, "Look, mommy came to visit."
But Alex thought to himself, "WTF..a moth? I'm a Catholic."
After dinner Alex followed his aunt outside to throw away the rubbish into the trash bin outside. After that, he went to feed his dog.
It was when he was feeding his dog that he smelt it..
The smell of flowers and the white cloth as if it were there, in the patio where the funeral was held.
From time to time, Alex would smell it in rooms, or outside on the patio when there's a breeze.
And all he can think is, "Ma..you came to visit?"
(Momok Ghost has decided not to disclose the location out of respect for Alex's parents. May they rest in peace.)
