Dreams and Nightmares
14. Nightmare VII

And then the nightmare came true. Sorincha was gone, into the city, and he couldn't chase after her. Not right away, because the gates closed themselves and he needed friends, more people, to enter that city. To play the game of otokoyo, that whispering voice in the winds said to him, but he wasn't going to play a game in a haunted city. He was going for his sister.

And finally the gates opened and he found others and he ran through empty streets littered with shadows, shouting his sister's name. But Sorincha didn't come, and the nightmare didn't end.
