On all my overseas trips, i usually take great care not to buy or bring back eccentric looking objects/plants that some roadside vendors sells. Perhaps it’s due to my high skepticism for such objects, many warnings from friends or maybe I’ve read too much mystery books in my life. But seriously speaking, I truly believe in curses, spirits and magic. So far, Science has not been able to provide a logical explanation for them.

To me, some of these objects/plants (especially those without known sources) might contain curses, spells or spirits which will bring bad luck or disasters upon their new owners.  One of my distant acquaintances lived to tell the experience, and the bad luck started to disappear only after proper disposal of the object (at a local temple) she had bought from overseas.

The strange phenomenon depicted in the story of Relic is not-so-much of an example of ancient ‘curse’ brought back to the present world from the deep rainforest. In this case, it was brought into the hands of the world’s largest museum. Though the story is totally fictitious, it still spurs up the unsettlingly emotions buried deep in my heart. An evil that lurks around the heart of the museum oblivious to the thousands of visitors and its own employees. The ending has a rather unique twist and this leaves a deep impression on me.

“Hear no evil, see no evil”
