Loss in the House of Mora

¨Do not go gentle into that good night…¨
-Dylan Thomas

In the last few days El Salvador has experienced tremendous devastations such as the loss of homes and the loss of family. No one can distinguish one particular loss with more emphasis than the other, but there comes a time when we all loose something so dear and close to our hearts, for but a moment in time we acknowledge their impact on our lives.

On the 4th of October, during the storm which lasted 24 hours, Sophie Audrey de la Mora slipped quietly into a coma. The exact nature of the cause is unknown, and the nearest doctor that can treat her is in San Salvador. I am by her side everyday, and at times she seems to awaken with an all too familiar gong. But soon after, after the incendiary light glows like my soul at the site of her, she again slips into darkness. I don’t know what to do. I feel completely lost. I just wanted everyone to know the grave situation and where it stands.

As far as the rest of the situation here in El Salvador, I simply don’t know, nor do I care at this moment. All I care about is poor Sophie, the only woman (beside my mother) who has been there for me through thick and thin. I feel quite torn at the moment, and do not know what I will do if she does leave this earth.

Your Melancholic Volunteer,

SCRUTAPE

dude your so gay.
somewhere on the sides of the screen there is a hole. stick something in it 1) while it is off then power up, or if that doens't do anything 2) while its on just after the "gong". its like a hole somehwere i forget where. but its the reset button. try that.
