Mr. Samsa woke up to find that he had turned into a lump of flesh.
Gregor Samsa, a friend, has been staying at my house for a week. A salesman, he was kicked out of the company dormitory when the company went bankrupt and had nowhere to go. I offered my home as a temporary shelter for Gregor on the condition that it would be until he found his next place to live.
Then, one day after a few days had passed. When I returned home after work, Gregor, who was supposed to be there, was nowhere to be seen. His shoes and coat remained, and there was no sign that he had gone out. While I was confused, I found an unfamiliar lump of flesh in the corner of the dim hallway.
An unknown lump of flesh. It seems to be alive and responds to my words and actions. For some reason, this lump of flesh seems terribly frightened.
Where did Gregor go?

His shoes and coat remained, and there was no sign that he had gone out. While I was confused, I found an unfamiliar lump of flesh in the corner of the dim hallway.
The oval lump of flesh was crawling on the floor, moving the small protrusions at its four corners like hands. When the lump of flesh suddenly turned toward me, it froze as if struck by intense terror.
The lump of flesh, which seemed to have stopped moving, eventually began to twitch like a sob and repeated intense contractions as if gasping for breath.
The spot that looked like the mouth of the lump of flesh opened and closed rhythmically, but I couldn't understand what it was saying. The lump of flesh continued to tremble slightly, like a small animal facing death.
