Jed don't know.

The absence was caused by you know what, so, I'll save you the details.

It all started about 2 weeks back, if I recalled correctly. That night, out of a sudden, my nose picked up a foul stench lingering in my room, something similar to the smell from clogged drains. I didn't pay much attention initially but when the it continued for a few days back-to-back, I begin searching my room for the source, it did strike me that some forgotten leftovers might be the cause. In conclusion, it was coming from outside as the stench was strongest at the window panes but looking out, everything seems perfectly fine to me. Got me wondering.

Puzzled, I began paying a greater deal of attention this matter on hand, to which I discovered that the stench always begin after midnight. I did not stay up purposely to time can? I normally reach home only around 10, so my awake hours are extended a little. And you know what, coincidentally, its the month of Hungry Ghost Festival. I know I sound superstitious but can't help it. I managed to discuss with the girlfriend and she adviced me to always carry and keep my charm close, which I did. After a day or two, everything returned normal.

If you ask me, I'll say that I have no idea what was causing it or I'd rather now know in the end. I mean, it might just as simple and logical as overflowed dumpster or clogged drainage coupled with the weather which so happen to coincide with all the events. Or not. I guess some things are better left unknown.
