Chapter 1, Secondhand Memories (2008) by Takatsu
It was July.
She looked at me with a smile on her face.
I smiled back.
It was summer. School was off. I was in complete bliss.
There was nothing better than this.
With her beside me, nothing could go wrong.
"Let's go." I heard myself say.
She nodded.

Chapter 307, Secondhand Memories (2008) by TAKATSU
As we stood there, still in an embrace,
all the color slowly returned to the world.
The dark grey clouds above were scattering,
golden sunlight released from Heaven's gates above.
Like honey,
the grassy field in front of us
turned colden,
lit ablaze with vibrant color.
The grass began to
sway back and forth
counting to a beat,
dancing with the wind.
I stood there,
wide-eyed like a child in awe.
Spring.
Spring has come.
Life.
Life has returned.

Meaningless by fabrication
"I've got to go."
"I'll call you later."
She says.
I nod.
The bells on the door
chime as she walks out.
An hour later
I'm still staring at the door.
Swinging as people
come in
and go out.

Chizuru by EllieCue
Birds with the same feathers,
flock together –
I never knew what this adage
means before.
I mean,
why do people group themselves
according to "who" they are?
Why can't everyone just get along with
each other?
Like...
...friends?

Chapter 36, The Luzhang Bridges by Ku
Just looking at the details of your life
gives me such heartache.
It's the cinema of the smallest things,
of desires that never saw the light,
gradually forgotten, faded away like mist.
One day a little
yellow leaf fell onto your hair.
It was an autumn afternoon,
mysteriously rich in time
and pure.
The leaf was smooth and cold
when you touched it to your lips,
and it rustled like old silk.
You taped it into your diary
and wrote above it:
Future.

Chapter 86, The Fringe of District 24 (2012) by TAKATSU
Even though I held up my katana like I had trained in the dojo with a kendo shinai,
even though I could see the black shapes of the beasts leaping for us,
I forgot to scream
as I fell suddenly
sucked
into the ground
that opened up
its jaws.
