In the folklore of Laos, there is a village which carries a curse that affects foreigners who have left footprints on its soil. It has been passed down from generation to generation that of all the foreigners who visited, and managed to leave this village, only one would bear this curse, and carry it to his/her own grave. Little is known about this curse as the locals do not speak of it; only that the bearer of the curse would bear the mark of the curse, and be constantly "reminded" of his/her stay in that village.
I am the bearer of this curse.
The mark of the curse can be found on my right calf. It is, indeed, an indelible mark.
The "reminders" come in the form of bouts of fever which has recorded an all-time high of 38.9 degrees celsius... and last for a week... worst of all, they are like recurring nitemares that come every month... zzz
