Short story- Simon and the twisted Japan adventure

Simon and the twisted Japan adventure

Chapter 1- Introduction

It was a lovely spring day. Simon waited so long for this moment. That was that, since he was a little kid, he wanted to go to Japan to experience it so he can tell his little brother to go too - he is still only 10 years old. As Simon had just finished high school he felt that it was time to follow his dreams and booked a flight to Japan.

He was worried that he couldn't speak any Japanese but since he needed to learn Japanese to go to University, he tried his best with the help of Pocket Talk. He was really excited to get to know the whole of Japan so he started off by going to the famous mountain , Nokogiri Yama. He heard that there was a huge temple with vivid colours there, so he went on the express train (Shinkansen) (he forgot what it's called) and headed there.

Chapter 2- The difference between one and another

4 hours later, he finally found himself at the main entrance of Nokogiri Yama. He noticed that it was very different- it wasn't colourful at all, it looked quite lifeless and odd looking. However, he thought that maybe it would become more colourful when he went into the temple, so he started walking inside the temple.

Chapter 3- The passageway

While he started walking into the temple, he noticed that it felt like the space got smaller and darker. Well at least it did for a minute until his eyes adjusted properly.

After walking for a long distance, he stumbled upon a minshuku. He was very excited because he always wanted to stay at one of these guesthouses, but he was also nervous since the one he had been to before rejected him for a reason he couldn't understand.

 This time, he hoped to stay at one so he knocked at the door and said suimasen. Is space a-i-t-e i-m-a-s-u k-a-?  At first there was no reply so he banged on the door and said it much louder. To his surprise, an old lady came up with a funny looking dress with a ribbon tied around it. He imagined that it was a welcoming dress that everyone had to wear at these establishments. She said, Komichiwa. Hai. aite imasu yo. She smiled sweetly. He didn't know what she said so he tiptoed into the building behind her while the lady kept on turning around and smiling at him.

Chapter 4-  The surprise

Once he got in, he noticed that his tummy rumbled. While looking around, to his astonishment, the lady came to him while serving him a meal. He was too hungry so while looking at nothing, he grabbed his hashi and ate it as quickly as he could. He thought that it was osahimi and he really liked it so he asked for seconds. While waiting, he was curious about how the lady was cooking it so he crept behind her and followed.

To his surprise, it didn't lead to the kitchen. It leads to a pathway. As he was shocked, he slowly tiptoed and carried on walking.

Eventually, he got to someone else's room. He didn't know what she was going to do so he watched her. To his surprise, she grabbed the guest and put him into the cauldron.

He was petrified and his legs were shaking and he couldn't bear it anymore so he screamed. While he was petrified, the woman looked at him and said, HAHAHA! I actually can understand you! I can speak perfect English too! Anyways, I thought I could trust you! Well, now you proved yourself wrong. I just put the person in the caudron because he was following me like you. Now, it's your turn. Say bye to your life in 30 seconds. Ready.... I'm going to boil the water now...

While being scared, he dashed as fast as he could and he went towards the gate. However, once he got that far, he noticed that it was locked. He couldn't escape. He was trying to escape and figure out a way but he was too late. The monstrous obasan turned into a big black 10 eyed monster and grabbed him with two fingers, and put him inside the caudron.... He knew that he might be destroyed in moments and will turn into one of those monsterous beasts....  Will he survive?....
