The Funeral Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday
16 parts Ongoing "In case no one comes, would you like to... come to my funeral?"
It wasn't a question out of desperation; it wasn't because he wanted pity from others. After a series of setbacks in Elio's life: being in massive debt, being hunted by loan sharks, being rejected by his own family, and having cancer that was slowly killing him, this was the only thing the young man could do for himself before he died.
But instead of being surprised or hesitant, the mysterious man who first greeted him at the funeral shop where he planned to buy a coffin for his funeral smiled at him as if he was not new to such peculiar requests.
"No problem. I'll come."
Elio knew that no one would take his request seriously. But this man? There was something about him that Elio could not explain, and that was beyond understanding.
And at that moment, Elio realized that this was no ordinary man, wondering if he had made a terrible mistake walking into that funeral shop that wasn't even there yesterday...
