Until the World Catches Up

One day, the sound of the world disappeared.

No cicadas.
No cars.
No ordinary signs of life that should have been there.

Only silence.

In a small park in a residential neighborhood,
sitting on a swing in the middle of the day,
I felt something strange.

The sky was blue as always.
Clouds were moving slowly.

But the presence of people had vanished.

Soon after that, strange coincidences began to appear.

Numbers repeating.
Mysterious smells.
A quiet feeling that something beyond explanation was happening.

This book is a quiet record of those experiences.

Until the world catches up,
I decided to leave it here.
