Before Jonghyun could even persuade his family to go in, Key told him about the house's movers. "The movers will come to our house before we do". Jonghyun then countered, "It's alright, they got the keys. They can start without us." ____ eyes went to her umma and then to her appa, silently wishing that Key will win so that they can't go any farther now.

"Alright, just a quick look" Key gave up and ____'s hope went down the hill too. "Forget it! I'm not going!" She practically yelled and went running in front of the car, very determined not to go inside the dark tunnel. "Come on, you guys! Let's get out here!" Jonghyun urged his daughter, "Come on agiya, it will be fun."

"I'm not GOING!" She yelled while holding her shirt tight and then her eyes noticed the oddly shaped statue standing beside her. The old cemented statue that looked like a big slug has a wide smile plastered on its face; it was mostly covered with moss that it looks greener than the original gray color of the cement. While staring at it, ____ couldn't help but feel creeps because of the weird smile that the statue is giving; it looked so real eventhough it's not.

Footsteps were heard and immediately ____ shifted her eyes away from the statue to the walking forms of her parents, they are going inside the tunnel. "____, just wait in the car then" Key informed as he followed Jonghyun inside. ____ gasped. "But, umma!" She began stomping off and she noticed again the odd presence of the statue, with quick thinking she decided to go with her family inside the tunnel. She doesn't want to be left especially when there's an unusual thing lingering on her vision. "Umma, wait for me!"

The three went inside the tunnel, Jonghyun leading the way, "Everybody watch your step". ____ clanged to Key rather tightly, really afraid about their fate inside the alleyway, "____, don't cling like that. You're making me trip and my clothes agiya, it would probably get messy if you kept doing that". Key scolded and with that his daughter loosened the grip. They kept walking until they reach the center of the tunnel. It was dim and it looked like a train station, only old and forgotten.

They resumed their walk and they reached at last the end of the dark tunnel. The bright sunrays hit their eyes and as soon as it happened the beautiful scenery suddenly popped out in their vision. It was a wide green pasture with randomly shaped rocks planted in every corner. There was an old house made of wood and beside that a path with a statue, the same with what they saw in front of the tunnel and there are many of them, some now are frog heads with moss covering the gray color. ____ gaped at the place as the wind caressed her face.

"What are those weird buildings?" ____ asked and then Jonghyun answered out of nowhere, "I knew it! It's an abandoned theme park" He began as he looked up the building where they went out, "See? They built them anywhere in the early 90's and then the economy went bad and was bankrupt. This must be one of them" Jonghyun said matter-of-factly eventhough he just made it up, he started to walk farther.

"Wait! Where are you going?!" ____ yelled, horrified by the situation. "You said, it was just a quick look! Let us go back!!!"

Eventhough she kept yelling and whining, her parents kept moving, "Hey!!!" she whined again and then another big gust of wind pushed her as if urging her to go. She looked up at the building and her eyes widened as it produced a sound. ____ run and clanged to Key's arm again, "Did you hear that building?" she asked. "It was "

"It's just the wind" Key confirmed and he breathe the fresh air, "Oh, what a beautiful place. We should have brought our lunch so we could have a picnic." They passed by a path were a lot of big rocks were arranged. "Look!" Jonghyun jumped, "They are planning to put a river here."

Key jumped also and he landed at Jonghyun and they both began to smell something delicious. "Hey! Did you smell that? I guess this theme park is still in business." Jonghyun continued to jump with Key following him while ____ was having a great difficulty jumping on the rocks. "Hey lets go!" Jonghyun urge as he lead his family to the newly found town.

At last with so much difficulty and a bit of running the family began to walk around the town searching for the delicious smelling food. Jonghyun sniffed and he started to run again when the delicious smell get stronger for his nostrils and so he went left, "Over there" he pointed the way, trusting his very delicate smelling senses. They turned right afterwards, Jonghyun kept sniffing while Key and his daughter started looking around the town.

"How strange" Key observed, "They are all restaurants"

Indeed, most of the shops were food stores, restaurants, and any shops related to food. The stores were painted in red, green, yellow, pink and each have different styles on how they can attract customers and there were a lot of food signs anywhere that it looked like a food festival. There are also traditional Korean lamps hanging on every restaurant. ____ noticed that they are the only people around and so she asked again, "Where is everybody?"

Jonghyun after a few moments at last found the store where the delicious smell came from, he run to check it out. "Here it is!" He exclaimed after confirming. Inside the food store, all sort of rare and delicious foods were seen that Jonghyun couldn't help but taste some. At the first bite, he couldn't believe how delicious it was, he peered his head out from the wide food banner hanging just below the food shop's roof and urge his family to see it. "You have to see this"

Key followed and justlike Jonghyun he was also amaze on how much food were laid in front of him, big trays were filled with lots of lots of foods that he never saw in his life. "Ahh..." Key moaned. Jonghyun immediately took plates and began picking the foods that he will eat; he also picked foods for his life-time partner. Key motioned his daughter to come along and eat with them too before taking his seat. "Come on ____, it looks delicious"

"Hello in there!" Jonghyun called after choosing his delicacies. "Is anybody work here?"

However no one replied, it was silent as if the owner of the food store had gone and left his store open and free for anyone who would love to eat. Jonghyun peered and peered inside yet he saw no one. Key couldn't restrain himself, "Yeobo, don't worry. We'll be able to pay the bills when the owner comes back" Jonghyun nodded, "Good plan"

The couple began to eat. Key called her again, urging her to eat too yet ____ shook her head while rubbing her shirt. She have a bad feeling about it, she have a bad feeling about the shortcut, to the tunnel, to the theme park, to the town, to the food and all the things that her parents are doing, it just gave her creeps and hee-bee jee-bees. "I don't want any! We're going to get in trouble" ____ explained, "Let’s just get out here"

"Don't worry, Jonghyun-appa's here" Jonghyun stated while picking more foods than before, "We got credit cards, cash and coins. We even have duckies if the owner wanted to bargain." And they resumed eating despite the whining of their daughter. ____ sighed. It's no use, they loved food and even she couldn't stop them from eating. She decided to leave her parents to eat until they could no longer breathe while she would take some walked around the town.

She started walking and she noticed a rather huge cemented staircase leading to a tall tree beside a red tower that looked like an entrance to a huge red-painted building. It took her interest and so she went there. Now, she's standing right in front of the edifice, it was very huge with a traditional Korean roof and there's a tall chimney-like tower that produced black smoke. "That's weird" she muttered as she resumed walking.

The building was getting bigger and bigger as she walk near it, she noticed that the top windows of the edifice was creaking, the chimney-like thing kept spoofing smoke and there's also a pile of huge rocks where hot water was looming.

"It's a bathhouse" She said particularly to no one.

She then heard the sound of a train approaching nearby and she instantly went to the edge of the bridge and climbed up a bit to watch the train more clearly. It went out from the tunnel just under the bridge. ____ felt that something was with her, she titled her need to the right and she let out a gasp, it was someone not something and that someone looked surprised too.

It's after all a zombie and it will eat ____ anytime. She screamed, lost balance and she end up falling down the bridge. The zombie just laughed and watched her fall. And the zombie will happily ever after.

I just watched 'Karigurashi no Arrietty' and it's pretty cute. By the way, sorry for the long wait, my laptop was devastated because my sporadic twin accidentally threw water on it when she was watching Onew on some random video. It's her fault and a bit of Dubu, not mine and so I didn't update for months or weeks. Forgive me. So, how was it? I think it's pretty boring but I'll make up in the later chapters. About the poster, I don't how could I make some that click to the story so, any suggestion about it?
