There are many stories but they’re all concluded within a single page, each story around 200 to 1200 characters in length, a short story collection you can easily read. Please enjoy them. Updated every Saturday at 6pm.

I ran out of paper in my notebook, so I went to the nearby store and bought a new one that had the dates written on the pages.
When I got home, I put the pages in my ring binder, and then flicked through them to check nothing was missing.
When I reached the page dated September 22, there was something already written there.
“Past this date is meaningless for you.”
It was written beautifully in red ink.
It didn’t specify what would happen, how, or anything concrete like that.
It had to be nonsense, something that someone wrote without much thought.
But I couldn’t stop the bad feeling it gave me.
