When I was 16, I used to ride home from tuition at night.
One evening, I took a wrong turn and heard children crying right beside my cycle.
I tried to speed up, but it felt like someone was holding the back wheel.
Somehow, I made it home.
The next day, my teacher asked if I took that path.
She told me never to take it again.
I still don’t know how she knew. 🕯️
