Yun-Chan's Imaginary
Yun-Chan was confused with the crow’s proposal of crossing the railway and guidance offer around the town! Railway was Yun-Chan's border of imagination between here and there; existing town and future step, new territory; it was scary.
He did choose to follow the crow.
He did not like what he met! Couldn’t find greenery and water to play or rest! This existence was not comforting her. Then, crow asked Yun-Chan to describe her imaginary town!
phase01
KITAZAWA Shimo,
38 , male, japanese , living at shimokitazawa
“..the alarm clock, I hate its sound. It is already 8:00am. I have to get up, to go to the tower which is located close to my apartment and repair their stupid elevator. I hate these towers, shimokitazawa where I live , is full of ugly tall buildings.. oppressing me everyday; and hate the guy , the owner of the company at today’s building. He has been living with my wife and Shiso,( my cat) for 1 month.I miss her but she hates me and everything about my life; actually me too…” he thought while he was putting on his clothes before he left the flat. “at least I am lucky that I own this flat, inherited by my grandma. Otherwise it is impossible for me as an elevator technician to own such a flat at this high-rise built area”… he left the apartment,and has already decided to change something about his life today; or stop it!
… faced with the neighbouring building that he always was thinking it not been built ever. “old granma was all the time telling stories about this area. When she was a small girl she was used to play around, in between narrow streets occupied with small cafes and shops with smiling, friendly people! What a crazy past! I can not neighter imagine nor believe in her words. Hmmm ,she was too old to have a clear memory when she passed away.” he thought just before he turned right and start walking down the street heading to his mission of today. Street was not wide enough to cope with the oppressive feeling that these tall buildings generates.
“.. I was a more interesting and happy person many years ago before started this job and got into this stressing world. But I lost all my interests,, .. yeah painting! I would have been an artist, and my life would exactly be different from now..” his mind was full of past , who he was and how he became a discusting person… lonely, with a left wife and Shiso! Maybe it was the only friend of him in these days…
Today he will change something! Definitely! To suicide ? kill the people in the elevator with him! Or whatelse ? but something has to be changed or OVER !!!
He came to the end of the street and about to turn the corner , but he surprised with the thing THING…the thing he faced with; which may rescue Kitazawa – san today..
But what might that be?..
Save Kitazawa Shimo..
