"The Day the City Disappeared" is a dramatic and emotional short story that follows a boy named Arisu as he experiences a sudden and catastrophic disaster while sitting in his classroom. What begins as a normal, boring school day quickly turns into chaos when a blinding white light-resembling a nuclear explosion-destroys the city. The scene is filled with intense imagery of fire, collapsing buildings, and human suffering, portraying the destruction in vivid detail. Arisu is caught in the middle of it all, severely injured and witnessing the deaths of his classmates. As he lies dying, memories of his family and regrets from his life flash through his mind, adding a deeply personal and tragic layer to the apocalyptic scene. The story ends with two men discovering his body and calling his family, leaving the reader with a heavy sense of loss and sorrow.
