‘Like a rat, I burrowed—bedlam—‘A-im peurom Koria—Wheo al yu peurom?’ I sensed—slight Gyeongsang accent—We’d left our humour behind—too exhausted to imagine any future. That’s—why I refused to resemble misfortune—didn't want to agonise—every time warmth touched my heart—I don’t know—even if it’s just a potato.

‘—seven—endless questions—couldn’t understand why—leave behind his bicycle—I couldn’t explain—Some of us have to survive—Mass bankruptcy brought disaster worse than disease—human trafficking—violence, cults—could neither stay / leave.
