Incense(Chapter 2)

You sigh. You replace the receiver on the phone. As if triggered by an alarm clock, you spring up and extract a few(approximately 9)joss sticks and lit them with white candles' flame which served as part of the offering in the ritual. You let them burn for a moment, then gently shake off the flame on the joss sticks.Their tips are blacken and glowing red, slowing consuming its way and left behind incense aroma, which remains lingering around the atmosphere and vanish without any traces. Holding them, you face your father's picture(which smiles in a blue background, revealing his nicotine-stained teeth), bow 3 times, and arrange them in the censer with sincerity and solemnness. Then you clasp your hands together and prays with a murmur tone. You are so concentrated on reciting your prayers in hope to raise your father's virtue, you did not notice that I just came back from school. I unlock the door and you heard it's creaking sound. You turn your head and hastily call me over. Come, burn some incense for your grandfather, he is dead but by praying and burning joss sticks, we can help him. He will reincarnate to a better place in future. Maybe heaven and he will be born as a god.He can protect us and wash away our unfortunate pasts. Come, come, burn some incense so that you will get good results.
