Discourse to the Dead

C. Cheng, Jan 2003

Note from the writer;

        I started writing this monologue a long time ago, but I never have the time and energy to complete it. I never truly have the time to sit and think and contemplate on the darkest fears of man.

        This monologue is not one that warns people of sin and evil. The "voice" that exists in the monologue is not the devil, but the person's darkest will and fear. I do not deal with superstitious entities, but with practical reality.

        I do not intend to make this into a theological discourse. No, we have had enough of what ideals are and how things should be. My concern is how things are and how we could and would cope with them. So, I wrote this monologue in an attempt to solve the deepest fear of all mankind: the fear of our dark self, of our unconscious, subhuman and instinctive desires of relief and freedom.

ps. I hope I could finish this by the end of this year.
