This is the sixth story in this summer’s online Flash Fiction series. Read the entire series, and our Flash Fiction from previous years, here. My apartment’s in an old wooden building, built who knows how many years ago, just one story, with two separate units, side by side, stuck between dilapidated houses no one lives in anymore. Imagine three old shacks that would have fallen down already if they weren’t holding one another up, and you’ll get the idea.

At Tokyo Station, I saw someone willingly cease being themself. I’d heard it was becoming an issue, but this was the first time I’d actually seen it happen. Wait, we just got here, wow, no way, the city really is a scary place. My friend Cocoro and I transmitted these thoughts back and forth as we blinked away, taking snapshots. By the time we left the station, giddy with excitement—Tokyo! We’re in Tokyo!—more than half of the person’s P-Pod had already melted off, forty-two yards ahead of us.

Chintya, voi che vivevate da lungo tempotrattenendo il fiato in una stanzadell’edificio in cui vi eravate radunati. Avevate imparato a eseguire ogni movimentoaffinché dall’esterno nessuno potesse scorgervi. Poi, un martedì, vi hanno sparato alla schiena. In alto, in basso, nella calda fanghiglia,al di qua di un muro silenzioso,a poco a poco avete tutti cominciatoa non muovervi più. Scarpe abbandonate. Logore vesti senza colori. Le cuciture che vi turbavano.

My earliest reading memory We had very few books at home, growing up, so I always looked forward to the Japanese textbooks that were handed out in school every term. I would read the entire book in one day, and over and over again after that. Textbooks might seem boring, but they gave me a way into contemporary poetry, haiku and tanka poems. My favourite book growing upDemian by Hermann Hesse.

When I was little, there were still many public bathhouses in town. As you washed up and soaked in the warm bath, an old lady would enter the bathing area with her clothes on to pick up bits of rubbish or hair strands that accumulated in the drains. It always felt unnerving to see a woman fully clothed in a place where everyone was naked, but what was even more shocking was when I learned that this lady was doing the same in the men’s bath as well.

It also transformed Colleen Hoover from a relatively unknown self-published author to a writer who has dominated the NYT bestseller list for more than a year.

Letteratura Mieko Kawakami narra di una ragazza che scopre la forza di ribellarsi osservando le bestie allo zoo Sarai mica ingrassata?, domandò lui guardandomi in faccia. Era domenica pomeriggio ed eravamo allo zoo, seduti su una panchina di legno di fronte alla gabbia delle giraffe mentre cercavamo di mangiare a morsi un cono gelato duro come la roccia per essere rimasto più o meno sei mesi in freezer. Ti paio più grassa?, chiesi di rimando. No, forse non è quello. È che la tua faccia sembra...
