Fellow of forest

Failed in business, I had debts.
It was not an amount that I could never return.
However, I lost my energy completely and I was straying in the forest of Fuji looking for a place to die.

I kept walking for hours. It was night before unnoticed.
Suddenly, I heard people's voice.
When I looked around, there were lots of people 's shadows of vague appearance.
Strangely, I did not think it was scary.
More than that I thought vaguely. "So much ..."

A small voice can be heard from around.
I did not know what I was saying at the beginning, but it gradually became clearly heard.
"Stop it."
"You better go home."
"Nothing will die in this place."
Then, I felt somewhat uncomfortable at my feet.

When I look it ... my leg was stepping on a corrupt corpse.
The corpse's head turned towards me.
"Do you understand? This place is not a place to die where you can not go anywhere even if you die, you can not come out of here forever, honestly, I regret it ..."
A corpse whose sex is no longer understood is said in a female voice like that.

I do not remember much after that.
When I realized, I was outside the forest.
I do not know even that event was reality.

.........

"I just could do it over again after that."
My father said so and stroked my head.
