·White Dress
The sand pit at the top of the mountain is actually dangerous. Standing near its edge can easily trigger a collapse and bury you in the pit.
The deep, black-green pool is just as dangerous. If you slip down the slope along its edge, you won't even have time to struggle before sinking straight to the bottom.
[Don't wander around me. Everywhere I go is full of danger.]
·Abandoned
The woman suddenly stood up, and her head rolled down to my feet.
She walked toward me, picked up her head, and set it back on her neck. Smiling, she said, "Leave this place. Stay away from the garbage dump. There's always a reason something gets abandoned. You don't have to like it here. There are louder, more terrifying things here."
[Everything happened so strangely and bizarrely, but I felt neither curiosity nor fear.]
·Reborn
I had lost my mind, but I found my heart again. It was ice-cold.
I don't believe she would kill anyone. I'm glad I left him and started a new life of my own.
[The night is bleak and boundless.]
·The Criminal Next Door
Flickering firelight slithered through the darkness like a snake watching its prey.
A bizarre night cast me out of my dreams.
[The little room inside the storeroom was dead quiet, as if all it contained were rice, flour, and oil.]
Theme: Live well, eat well, and sleep well.
