掌編 The Sleepless Girl
One day she told me that she cannot sleep at all. As time passes, I noticed her face paled more. I wanted to do something for her and remembered my childhood. When I couldn’t sleep, my mother stayed with me until I feel sleepy and fall into a deep sleep. I think I could save her if I stay with her all night.
It was a clear night. So beautiful full moon was above us. It was like a spotlight that light up the party hall. I could see the hall crowded with people who dressed up. I found a beautiful deep blue dress in her room and recommended her to try it on. We went out of her room and joined the party held under the moonlight. My dressed up sweetheart was so beautiful that fascinated many people there. I danced with her overnight.
The moon was nearly disappearing and people who danced in the hall went somewhere else. When the moon completely disappeared and the sun rose from the mountain from the distance, I noticed that my girlfriend wearing a beautiful night sky blue dress vanished, as many participants did. I returned to her room, but there was not her reply.
I realized that she went to her long sleep. The dirge was played inside my head.
