      Depressed Chapter 16 Cover
      by curiosOZ When Shen Lian woke up, all he saw above him was the glare of a white incandescent lamp. He instinctively squinted, only then realizing where he was. It was a private hospital room, and his adoptive father was sitting right beside him. “Awake?” His adoptive father smiled kindly, his voice full of worry. Shen Lian touched his forehead and felt the soft bandage there. He stared blankly at his adoptive father, then gave him a well-behaved, affectionate smile. “Your mother, honestly—how…

      Depressed Chapter 15 Cover
      by curiosOZ “Daddy, why aren’t you going out today?” Shen Lian asked. “Be good, Lian Lian. Let Mom take you to the amusement park, all right?” His adoptive father crouched down, looking Shen Lian straight in the eyes, his gaze sincere and full of fatherly affection. His adoptive mother, for once, wasn’t at the mahjong table. Her face was expressionless, as if carved from clay, and she perfunctorily helped Shen Lian into a yellow jacket, then pulled a cute blue hat over his head. His adoptive…

      Depressed Chapter 14 Cover
      by curiosOZ “It would be fine if you just killed them,” the mechanical voice said. “Don’t you want to kill them?” “If you did that, they wouldn’t be able to mock you anymore,” it continued. It spoke as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, as if killing them were no different than killing a chicken. Shen Lian hesitated for a moment, then asked, “What happens when someone dies? Where do people go after they die?” “They go up to the sky,” it replied. “That way, they can finally…

      Depressed Chapter 13 Cover
      by curiosOZ Shen Lian’s adoptive father seemed like a good man. Though he couldn’t be called handsome, his features were regular and well-proportioned, and there was always a gentle, tolerant smile at the corners of his mouth. His job, while not especially lucrative, was still considered respectable in this society. Yet perhaps because they had no children of their own, Shen Lian’s adoptive parents’ relationship seemed neither warm nor cold, leaving a faint sense of distance in the household…

      Depressed Chapter 12 Cover
      by curiosOZ At school, on the rooftop of the teaching building, the cold wind howled. That person in black stood at the edge of the rooftop. Beside him was a chair, and Shen Lian was tied to it, unable to break free. Yet Shen Lian smiled. “Hello, Teacher,” he greeted politely. The math teacher smiled as well. “No one is coming to save you.” “That’s right, even if I scream myself hoarse, no one will come to save me.” The wind pressed in, biting cold. “Teacher, am I about to…

      by curiosOZ [Heaven, like a bell, Exists, and thus is an ear. Silent, I am an anomaly, Alone here, decaying here.] Shen Lian was organizing information on a scrap of paper. The first victim: male, a student from Class 3, Grade 11. His grades were neither good nor bad. The body was found in the small woods behind the school. It was said that when he was discovered, his body was covered in footprints. The second victim: male, a student from Class 7, Grade 11. His grades were fairly decent. The body was left…

      Depressed Chapter 10 Cover
      by curiosOZ 〔I heard them lift the coffin Heavy footsteps, swaying and stumbling My soul creaks and groans All around, the funeral bell tolls〕 The curtain rose, and the entire auditorium was plunged into a deathly silence. There was a person on stage—a corpse. The body was dressed in wrinkled clothes, the head smashed to a pulp, the face utterly unrecognizable. At this moment, even the red curtain seemed dyed with dark, congealed blood. On the splendid stage, the ugly corpse lay beneath the…

      Depressed Chapter 9 Cover
      by curiosOZ 〔When everyone has taken their seats The ceremony begins, the sound of the drum Heavy and powerful, beating, beating Until my consciousness grows numb〕 He was tied to a chair, listening in terror to the footsteps drawing ever closer to the basement, as if those sounds were the death knell, the drumbeats of doom struck by Death itself. Creak—the door opened. The basement was thick with that musty, damp smell, and very dark. The person stood in the shadows, dressed all in black. But even…

      by curiosOZ Emily Dickinson 〔In my mind, a funeral is taking place Mourners stream in, one after another Endlessly walking, trampling Until the atmosphere of the ceremony thickens〕 “Sigh, Shen Lian, did you hear?” The chubby boy at the desk in front leaned in, speaking with an air of mystery. Shen Lian was packing his schoolbag. At the words, he looked up at him, playing along as he asked, “Hear what?” “There’s been a death at our school…” The chubby boy lowered his voice, leaning even…
