What Happened

What happened The woman from the Philippines She and her husband a European man of middle years Had a clearing in the jungle. Built their own bamboo cabin raised pigs and chicken Also, vegetables which the sold at the local market. She sent many photos of their daily life Then came the long silence I heard nothing more What had happened? Now my imagination speaks: he had died and she Surrounded by hostile men, not interested in her Farm but to sleep with her. She sold the farmstead went to live in Cebu and Waits for an elderly man ready to share in her dreams. Since her first vision was shattered there is No need to give up the idea of having a cabin In the jungle
