The abandoned sacrificial pit in the back mountain swallowed many lives.
I fell into it, but fell into a strange world of crystal fish tanks.
Each floating crystal ball imprisons a soul, which turns into a human-faced fish when touched.
They called my name and chased me like crazy.
As I escaped from the cave, I clutched at straws—three pairs of feet in period shoes.
The old man, the beauty, the young man, they looked at me in silence.
"You have alarmed the Fish Eater Abyss." The young man retracted his foot that kicked the fish away, "They have remembered your breath."
"Why me?" I asked tremblingly.
The beauty caressed my face: "Because you are the mayor's daughter, the only sacrifice who came back alive in a hundred years."
