"Glimpse of Death"

Written by Bubblegum-chi

Miles away from the capital city of Japan, a place called Furano exists. It is a beautiful city that resides in Kamikawa Sub-prefecture of the island of Hokkaido. And all throughout the four seasons, this whole island remains cold.

This is a place that I have learned to love. I love the weather here, especially during its times of summers and springs. I love the scenery here, it is kind to my hardened eyes; Furano was a city blessed with miles of lavender fields and colorful flowers. Its aroma spreads to every corner and space of the city. But, what I really find alluring about this remote place was its gift of solitude to me. Compared to Tokyo and New York, I barely meet new people here. And this fact relaxes me.

I want to be far away from people as much as possible.

As not to meet new eyes.

As not to see their deaths.

As not to face hopelessness once more.

I will remain in this place.
