It was around 12:30 PM on August 15th. The weather was fine. In the midst of sunlight so dazzling it felt sickening, I was just idling away the time chatting with you because there was nothing else to do. "But well, I guess I hate summer," you muttered defiantly while stroking a cat. Ah, chasing after the cat that ran away, what you leaped into was a traffic light that had turned red. A truck sped past, dragging you along as it shrieked. The color of the blood spray mixed with your scent, making me choke. A haze like a heat shimmer sneered, "It's not a lie." The light blue of summer and the sound of cicadas, like they were stirring everything up, made my vision go dark. I woke up in bed to the ringing of the clock hands. What time is it now? It points to just past 12:00 PM on August 14th. I remembered the annoyingly loud buzzing of the cicadas. But you know, it's a little strange. I remembered the dream I saw yesterday in the same park. "Let's go home for today," you said, and as we stepped onto the path, everyone around us was looking up with their mouths hanging open. A falling iron pole pierced through you, stabbing deep. The piercing scream and the sound of wind chimes spun uselessly between the trees. A deliberate heat shimmer sneered, "It's not a dream." In my blurring vision, I saw your profile; I felt like you were smiling. No matter how many times the world blurs, the heat shimmer sneers and takes you away. Repeating this for decades. You must have realized it long ago. In a story as common as this, there's surely only one ending. Beyond the repeated summer days. I shoved you aside and leaped; the moment I did, I slammed into the truck. The color of the blood spray reflected off your eyes and my creaking body. When I smiled at the complaining heat shimmer, saying "Serves you right," It was a very common summer day. Something like that ended here. Awakening on the bed on August 14th, the girl was simply holding the cat alone, saying, "It failed again."
