“Come on , let’s do something . I’m so bored I could die !”

Summary : A tale as old as time . One day in Japan , two elementary school age girls are sitting in a tree when one pushes the other out of the tree to kill the other out of a feeling of jealousy . Then the murderer convinces her brother it was an accident . Those two spend most of the story hiding the body while the ghost of the murder victim commentates . God , this is a messed up situation .

“Dark red blood flowed from every where – from my nose and my ears , from gashes all over my body .”

Review : There’s so many levels of twisted in here but somehow this manages to come off as funny . That’s not to say there isn’t tension or a realistic threat but this is all told through the ghost of an elementary school girl and she seems a little more reserved than I would expect her to be . But I guess that just goes to show the skill of the author . Check this out if you’re a ghost story fanatic like I am .

“That’s it ! Let’s hide Satsuki . We’ll be fine as long as nobody finds out she died here !”
