A dream in Tokyo 1
At my flat
0.00am
I can't sleep always this time. I don't like the number 'Zero' because it spurs me on the loneliness. I'm scared of it---nothing, midnight and silence.
I tossed a coin. It's tails. I lighted a candle. On my bed, I'm listening to the wink of the moon in the sky. I'm having a hot green tea. -Yes, here is in Tokyo. There is a scent of the death. There are many AI smiling at me. I feel everyone has gone to the moon. Here, even the slight moonlight, I'm feeling too cold. The dark is too heavy. Tonight I'm almost drowning in the darkness. Whenever I feel it, the time is 0.00.
1.11am
'Where time goes?'
I haven't been able to sleep yet.
Having a lukewarm green tea, the moonlight is getting shine. I turn on an old record. It's Clair de Lune by Debussy, C. I want to ask him to take me the moon. Wrapping myself up in a wool blanket, I open a worn-out book of the Mappa Mundi.
Suddenly, a talking, clothed white rabbit with a pocket watch has appeared from the map.
'Hurry up, hurry up, Nami!'
The white rabbit passed me the white bottle which is a table labelled as
'BOIS-MOI' ('DRINK ME')
I drunk it without any doubt, the contents of which caused me to shrink too small to grab the teacup.
'What's happened to me?'
The white rabbit smiled at me and said,
'It's all right. You can eat this cookie and follow me.'
I nibbled on the cookies and then followed him.
My body became growing up to normal size soon.
2.22am
We are sitting on the colourful mushroom chairs and I became a guest at a weird green tea party in order to celebrate the queen of hearts.
Suddenly, the queen of hearts is accused of stealing her cookies.
'RENDS-MOI MES BISCUITS!' (GIVE ME BACK MY COOKIES!')
'Did I steal your cookies? No way!'
In a rush, I drink again the white bottle and became small to escape the queen of hearts, while white rabbit secretly whispered to me.
'Do you know where time goes?'
' I don't know and I don't want to know!'
I eventually cried out.
