Gate 11

"Gate 11" is a short story that combines psychological suspense and circular dilemma. The protagonist and his companions go into the mountains, but they involuntarily fall into a strange "mission" - the gaze of a strange man, the frozen blond woman in the wooden house, the dilapidated helicopter on the top of the mountain, and the dormitory where the same lost people gather. After each mission is completed, the "Door No. 11" Will appear at six o'clock in the morning, promising to "return", but the reality quietly collapses: the sweet and sour pork ribs on the table are bloody, there are black lines hidden under the smiles of relatives, and the self in the mirror shows a strange expression. When the memory is repeatedly erased, the protagonist finds himself trapped in endless reincarnation, and the looming black lines on his wrist remind him of the price of forgetting every time. The novel uses cold and restrained writing to create a suffocating suspenseful atmosphere, questioning the fragile boundary between "memory" and "existence".
