A view from
inside a fuel depot, where we took shelter for a month.
There was no
platform but concrete floor for sleeping, no screening net to keep the
mosquitos out .
Blankest were
only for a few who were old, or sick. The smell of oil were unbearable
at first,
later, we got
used to with it, and try to enjoy the beach front view instead .
At least we
were kept dry during rain storm season
A few spots where we used to gather
to
chat about the country we left behind
The main path to the forest where
we searched for wild fruits as substitutes for food.
There was a group of durian trees
that provided needed nutrition for our hungry people.
Picking wild fruit, however , was
considered violations against the camp's rules .
Those who were unlucky caught got
severe punishment to warn others not to repeat the same mistake.
the UN Chartered Ship that finally
came after a few weeks late.
