Summary

What is that beyond the trees...along the wall...stretched out along the ground lurking, waiting? From further away, towering figures can look small and slow, but in an instant, they're upon you - and then it's too late. First, a boy cries monster, and the monster responds. Next, a shared pain sits in a shared silence. After that, a cavalcade of sound hunts us in Japan. And finally, a morning breakfast is served with chilling children.
