Hello! I'm Saruki. A very short story, this time about the series Tokyo Ghoul. The one who speaks in first person is the main character, Kaneki Ken.
Rotten body, rotten heart
It was such a stormy night. I was wandering around a lonely street all by myself. I was soaking wet but I didn't care at all. Nobody cared about me anyway. Touka-chan had just dumped me because she said I was such a useless guy. Not just her but everyone around me told me so. Finally, I realized how pitiful my new ghoul-life was and I ran away from Anteiku, thinking of putting an end to all of this.
In the middle of my thoughts, I climbed on to a roof of some building. I could see the entire town from there and it was such a beautiful scene. But at the same time, I could see how rotten the city was. In fact, the entire world was. I started crying and walked straight to the edge. I really wanted to die.
I was about to fall when suddenly something pulled me back to the roof's floor. I was in shock but I could hear a voice shouting.
"Are you crazy?! Pull yourself together!"
A man appeared in my sight. I was still a little dizzy and my vision was blurred by the tears, but I saw him quite well. His eyes were the ones of a ghoul. I tried to explain to him everything, but no voice came out of my mouth. Then he said:
"I understand, but can't fall apart like this. Come back to your world and change it because I have chosen you for that."
For a second, I rubbed my eyes because I still had some tears in them, but when I looked back, he was no longer there.
That one meeting made it a day I'll never forget.
This could be the beginning of something... Or should I leave this short story end here?¿
