RE: Keyword of the week: light - Life, death, absence
@gertu, I read your post then I remember about my friends. WE joined in a teater which perform in many city. We make a show in Bali, Solo, Jogja, Jepara, Pati, Kudud and many town.
I once felt the sadness of a friend leaving me without my knowledge. I was still living in Jakarta and didn't have much contact with others. Until one day, I opened Facebook and learned that my friend, who performed in the theater, had passed away. I was sad that I hadn't heard from anyone. I was sad that I hadn't contacted other friends and only found out about her death three years later.
Memories of her brought back memories of the hard times of theater rehearsals and performance preparation, which drained my energy, emotions, and everything. Until the performance was successful and many people admired her.
In the end, I only prayed and hoped that she would always be at peace in heaven.
Warm regard from Indonesia

Sometimes the things we write, even if they are fiction, are still true for some people. There are so many of us in the world that we cannot know what its realities are through our fictions.
I am so sorry for what happened to your friend and how you found out. Peace to our dead, may they rest in peace.
Amen. You are right. Or it is about the ability of writer to find "weakness of reader" then they were brought to follow the plot. Writer must be smart to wrap the story even fiction into some thing happened in the real life.
Or writer tell about reality with their imagination and thes drag the reader to follow the plot.
The impact is readers don't know it is still fiction or reallife. The reader just enjoyed the story and always "follow the dragon"
The two are integrated, reality and fiction. What for me is fiction, for others is reality. The reader will reflect on the topic or not.
