Kim was nervous when the door open. He saw a glimpse of a shadow of a person. It was exactly 11.00p.m. Outside was the blackness of night. From afar‚ the chattering of insects tickled his eardrums.

What initially drew me to this poem was the title‚ and how it was written to be read as the first line of the poem. The title also drew me in because I have a connection to the material‚ my father died when I was ten.
