Prologue

IF DEATH were the subject, then she’d be very much alive. Moving stealthily, leaning against a dirty white wall, a woman whose identity is unknown crouches just below a dusty window. As someone who is unwilling to accept her fate and tragedy that she faced three years ago, she moves behind shadows to search for proof to incarcerate and penalize the real culprit. Her heartbeat escalating, she takes a glimpse of what is behind the walls. Inside, a frantic man garbed in a blue asylum gown crawls over a scruffy bed. Like a drained human being, he stares into space with thoughts that can’t be penetrated. The woman holds tight to

Chapter 1: The Golden Journal

Her Life He Wrote/ninashupi

A DIFFERENT WOMAN opens the steel door. She has been banging it for minutes like a captive being chased by her perpetrator. The unresponsiveness of the person inside extremely upsets her. Every solid blow of her fist against the silver metal trumps on the wild cries and shrill screams of the deranged patients cared for by the hospital. Although it irks to think that Kagan wouldn’t even let her in, she puts the crazy thought aside. Even if she knocks down this steel barrier, he wouldn’t care about it, rather he'd only curl up in fright. When she sets foot into the office, his broad back welcomes her as she finds Kagan standing before the window. The wrinkles in his asylum gown are visible as if he had been pressed.

Chapter 2: Inside Kagan's Diary

Her Life He Wrote/ninashupi

KACHINA ... Kachina left me. I submerged myself in so much foolishness. I wanted to dig my dying self in this copper-colored sand. I ached to be swept away by the crashing waves so that I could permanently sink under the vast ocean of bottomless gloom and suffocate myself. I desired to destroy myself because I deserved it. I was not worthy of Kachina. Though profoundly fetched by her, she despicably loathed my whole existence. She never came. She abandoned me in this dreamy place and told me right on the phone that she preferred a future without me.

Chapter 3: Stranger, My Savior

"K-KACHINA?" My eyes narrowed down as we settled offshore. Deciphering the facial features of the stranger, I wanted to make sure it was Kachina who rescued me. For if it indeed was her, she had come to not disappoint me. Perhaps, lying to me that she could not make it was all along part of plans. What she really meant was to surprise me, and she did. The moonlight glowed overhead while I collapsed on the sand, catching my breath. I smiled despite the attempt of wanting to become a shipwreck myself. I oathed to ridicule the stars, laugh at them till I shed no tears because they were wrong to have made fun of my misery. Right in the middle of the ocean, a good soul redeemed me. Someone lifted me up from my burdens. Someone still wanted me to live. The woman also sunk beside me. I stared at her while she gasped for air. Water dripped

Chapter 4: Island Kiss

Her Life He Wrote/ninashupi

YOU are such... a cat." I grinned as my eyes lowered to her chest. However, I gulped down my thirst. The woman's damp clothes sculpted two spears inside. As I focused on it, the size was almost depressing. It almost awakened my sleeping soul. But I went back on admiring her exquisiteness. Her eyes were a master while I was a mere piece moved by it. I smiled and whispered, "You are as pale as the moon's surface but as bright as it is at night. You deserve to be called my light." Her palm was as warm as the fireplace. The sea breeze was classic music orchestrated by our gentle breath. The pine trees danced to its melody as the moon glistened on the water's surface. The burn in my heart partially chilled. The burden turned more ethereal, for Neko was with me. Then, I pulled her smooth arm and laid her on the white sand. As I crawled on
