I Had a Single Song

The main character, I, meet a big family in the middle of a long journey. ‘I’ was riding a bus, and a big family of 20 women asked the bus driver if there is a seat available for a dead baby. The driver shook his head and refused to let them on board the bus. The driver added that they are going home to bury the body of their youngest daughter. ‘I’ looked at the women and recalled the memories of I’s own childhood. The female actress dies of a sudden seizure during a performance. The audience think her death is a part of the play, and the follow actor continues the play even after noticing her death. After the play ends, the actor—who is worried about being convicted as a murderer—carries the body to her house where she lives alone. He seat the body on a couch, wipes the blood of her mouth with a wet handkerchief and squeezed a few drops of water into her mouth with the suspicion that she might revive from the dead; however, there is no reaction. The story presents different stages of loss, mourning, and grief.
