The Face 2

The FACE stared at him. He stared at the FACE. Should he wear it...

He stared at himself in the mirror. He looked into his dark eyes. Did he hypnotize himself?

Should he wear it...

He stared at the mask once again, then put it over his face. He looked through the dark holes that were the eyes of the mask.

"We've been waiting for you."
"Who are you?"
"We are your ancestors."
"Ancestors?"
"Yes. We can see your face now."
"What do you want from me?"
"We wanted to show you that we exist."
"I don't understand."
"We are not dead. We are always living."
"Oh..."

He looked harder through the holes of his mask and he saw all his ancestors. He even saw his grandmother who had just died days ago.

"How long have you been alive?"
"Ever since the day we died. We live our lives over and over again from birth to the day we died, again and again."
"I see."
"The more we live the same life over and over again, the more we see how our actions were determined by motives from our bodies and souls. But after so many times of living the same life, our memories disappear and our lives become filled with the present moment... complete."
"I don't understand."
"All you need to understand is that we need you. We need you to keep our memories alive."
