    [WHISPERS OF THE NIGHT]

    Chapter 17 - Mizuko Shirogetsu Hollow Night “Sis, I’m scared.” I had expected as much. The first few times were always the most difficult, coming to grips with a new way of breathing, walking, gliding that completely contradicted what you’d been practicing. My eyes turned to search for hers...

    Chapter 16 - Akio Furusawa Tuesday, October 17th “Hey, we’ve been walking around for ages.” Katoru complained. “Let’s just pick somewhere already. Or has that Good Samaritan energy wore off? ” I was reluctant, and he knew it. “Nonono!” I blurted. “Sorry, I know you must be hungry. I guess I...

    Chapter 15 - Daisuke Kurogane Tuesday, October 17th I came to a decision. If anybody whose name I knew caught me here, I’d end myself. Right here, right now, using whatever tools were available. As my hand reached up to pull my hood further over my face, the person in front of me, a mother...

    Chapter 14 - Arthur Cunningham Tuesday, October 17th Should you ever visit the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, as you peruse the works of art that decorate the space’s distinguished walls, there stands a masterpiece that has etched its way into my very soul — Rembrandt's 'The Night Watch.' The...

    Chapter 13 - Junko Shirogetsu Tuesday, October 17th The portrayal of swordplay in anime, films, and even games had always seemed silly to me. I suppose when you spend several hours each week practicing actual swordsmanship with your own body, you naturally become more nitpicky when it comes...

    Chapter 12 - Eiji Hoshino ??? “Holy shit…!” Katoru’s shadow-thingy gasped, speaking for all of us having witnessed this bloodbath. W-Was he using that thing as a surrogate body? His real one was still cradled on the floor, covering his ears like you’d just told him wrestling was fake. My...

    Chapter 11 - Liu Katoru ??? I gotta say, watching these gooey little shits burn away atom by atom was satisfying as fuck. The more I witnessed each and every single one flame down into ashy, wispy smoke, the more I felt something shift inside me, like someone was watching every action I was...

    [WHISPERS OF THE NIGHT]

    Chapter 10 - Mizuko Shirogetsu ??? Life is often likened to a game – you’ll often find sentiments expressing that “You either win or you lose”, or “You must play others before they play you”, so on and so forth. I find these that these derivations, while not entirely inaccurate, are...

    Chapter 9 - Kinoko Rusuban ??? I will say, to have pawns in this life is a truly wonderful thing indeed. Perhaps my language was too harsh; I only wish to communicate the joys of having associates who are willing to get their hands dirty for your sake. In the days of the Sengoku and Edo...

    Chapter 8 - Daisuke Kurogane ??? I’d never seen disguises so hollow – so easy to expose. Through each of their forced smiles, laughs, chatterings, their fear was plain as day. Fear of having ‘regrets’. Fear of being rejected. Fear of being alone. Were these the absolute shams I was to...

    Chapter 7 - Miharu Kozuki ??? I was about to die for the ninth time. In the prelude to what would be my last performance, memories of my short tenure in this cruel world gradually began to reveal themselves to me. Honing in on one in particular, I found myself transported all the way back to...

    Chapter 6 - Eiji Hoshino ??? I’d been looking for remedies to insomnia, but this was not one I remember reading about. We stood there, our hearts practically suspended in mid-air, whilst the various electronics in and around the vicinity spurred to life. We had been welcomed into something –...

    Chapter 5 - Akio Furusawa ??? I was dreaming of her again. In the quiet recesses of my sleep, where it felt like reality melded with my imagination, her presence wasn’t something ethereal, or understated, like a whisper of the night. No, it demanded attention, exploding like a dazzle of...

    Chapter 3 - Eiji Hoshino Monday, October 16th Calculus, like success, is simply a matter of confidence. Do you know what you want? Are you sure you’re going to get it? Are you willing to employ any means necessary? Use every trick in the book, every tool in the box? You can practice and...

    Chapter 2 - Kinoko Rusuban Monday, October 16th As I was saying, cordyceps – if cordyceps get to you, that’s when you know you’re screwed in the most thorough sense of the word. You would usually find them in the odd woodland or two, growing on the grassy forest floor, winding across the...

    Chapter 1 - Akio Furusawa Monday, October 16th So, Hachiko. I must’ve been around seven - that Ultraman T-shirt from my sixth birthday was starting to bear battle scars from my escapades on the playground - and I was…well, I was confused. It was just some random old statue of an Akita you...
