The Enigma of Amigara Fault

[cyberghostface]

Happy Halloween, everyone!

I posted this story last year I think, but thanks to Pict, it's no longer available. So I figured I'd post it again for Halloween. Hopefully, there might be some new readers who haven't experienced it, but if not, it's worth a look again IMO. And yes, this is 1/3 of the original story.

The beginning of the story explains that there was a big earthquake. Following the earthquake, a large fault is discovered near the epicenter of on the north slope of Amigara Mountain.

Two hikers, a boy named Owaki and a girl named Yoshida, meet up near the fault. Both of them had seen the fault on television and knew they had to visit it.

Remember to read right to left.



The holes puzzle the scientist, who can't figure out how they were carved or how deep they go. Nor do they know what purpose it served.

Yoshida believes that one of the holes was made for her, and so do many others. Okawi is skeptical, being that they are thousands of years old, but one man proves it.



A crowd gathers around the hole, but there's no sign of the man. The rescue squad arrives but they are unable to help.



The next morning, Yoshida discovers her hole at the foot of the fault, identical to her.



Meanwhile, more people are discovering their holes in the fault and are walking in.



Owaki fills her hole with rocks to prevent her from entering.






Owaki wakes up from the nightmare and discovers that Yoshida is missing.



Dejected, he sits down in defeat, when something catches his eye...
