I thought this was behind me. I thought the grief could fade on its own. But apparently, Amadi had been leaving codes in the journal this whole time.
Here are the rest of his journals. If there is any way to understand his intentions in passing, I am up for it.
Code cracked: ANOTHER ONE
ReplyDeleteI SAW ANOTHER ONE AND THIS ONE WAS WORSE THAN ARONI
I SAW SHANKPANNA THE DOCTOR THE ONE WITH THE WITHERED LEG THE ONE WHO SOUGHT TO GIVE SMALLPOX TO THE REST OF THE GODS IN DEFIANCE
HE LOOKED UPON ME WITH DARK EYES HE WORE A MASK SHAPED LIKE A BEAK
I CAN FEEL THE SICKNESS SWELLING WITHIN ME
I MUST FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO HELP RUN THE HOUSE
I NEED TO GIVE SOMEONE THE KEY TO THE CELLAR DOOR
WHY DO THOSE WORDS SOUND SO BEAUTIFUL CELLAR DOOR
IF I CANNOT GIVE THE KEY TO SOMEONE IN TIME THEN I WILL LEAVE IT WHERE ONE OF THEM CAN FIND IT
I WILL LEAVE IT IN MY BOOK OF MYTHS
THAT CELLAR DOOR SHALL BE MY LEGACY
