Fated Love
On this morning, the frost needles on the grass had not yet melted under the sunlight. The cries of the pregnant sheep were mournful. My uncle asked me to turn away. The sheep's cries changed, becoming low and prolonged. The flock trembled gently in the biting morning wind alongside me. When I turned back, I saw the sheep licking the bloodstains off the newborn lamb.
I must reveal here the tragedy of panhuman sorrow in a survival situation filled with strong comedic elements, the tragedy of human nature, and the conflict between the noble qualities of life instinct and life pursuit.
Fish
The eyes of the child who had long watched fish would also become like fish eyes.
Uncle lowered his gaze to the child whose crying had suddenly stopped. He saw Deke's eyes bulging like fish eyes, as if ripples of water shimmered before his eyes, causing him another wave of palpitations. His hand, as if by chance, felt the icy cold of a snake.
