step 07

My dad's gone.

Ye-ha, who had been running around the neighborhood for a long time, entered the house again. And stood on the palm-sized porch for a long time. Staring at the sneakers my dad left behind.

The sneakers approached Yeha. Trembling as if an invisible man was wearing it.

'Yeah, yeah.

Dad's voice buzzed the sky. At the same time, sneakers that seemed to walk began to run at full speed. It was such a violent run that Yeha took a backward step without realizing it.

'Don't go out.'

The sneakers hit the ground with their heels. Ye-ha, who had fallen back, looked at the sneakers in horror.

'You can't go out.'

You told me not to go out. Where's my dad? Did you run away? Then why did you leave me? It's a terrible world that even my dad can't stand. You should have known I was no different.

Ye-ha gave strength to her knees by shaking her lips. After that, I put my foot in my bootstrap sneakers. The sneakers moved as if they had been waiting. I don't know if you're wearing sneakers. You don't know if your sneakers are wearing you, go somewhere far away. He ran very far away.

Then, I bumped into the bright light with a banged. The field rose from its dream, exhaling as if it had been struck by lightning.

"Sigh, ha...….”

I felt numb all over. I was sweating, and my lungs were sore. How did you fall asleep? I can't think of it, but a dream that was hard to tell whether it was a nightmare or a memory came to mind vividly without missing a single speck of dust.
