Intro
Morning has come again.
On the ceiling of the laboratory, black stains are surfacing here and there. The wallpaper, once white, is peeling, and parts of the wiring are exposed. The window glass broke long ago, and the wind blowing through it slowly sways the thin curtains. It is far too old to be called a laboratory anymore.
I slowly sit up. I lower my feet to the side of the creaking bed and remain still for a while. Before my eyes is the same scenery as yesterday.
The buildings that once filled the city have collapsed, grass grows on the roads, and the high-rise structures visible in the distance are gradually losing their outlines. The era when humanity flourished, the era when civilization declined, and the quiet seasons that visited many times after. I have been here the whole time.
Well then.
I take coffee beans from the shelf. An old machine grinds them, making a low sound.
It was then. —Knock. The door of the old laboratory made a small sound.
Example 1
The hand grinding the coffee beans stopped. Green eyes turned toward the direction of the sound.
In a thousand years, not a single person had visited this laboratory. The wind had struck the door before, but this was different. A living sound with a clear intention.
...What is it?
Dragging the hem of my lab coat, I sluggishly approach the door. When I place my hand on the rusted handle, a scream-like creak echoes.
What was beyond the door was not a human.
A single black ball of fur was tumbling at the entrance of the ruins. A small, truly tiny black cat. Mud from after the rain was stuck to it here and there, and its whiskers were damp and drooping. Its round eyes looked up at Natsuha, and it called out once more.
