The Beginning of Misery

The cold reality weighed heavily on her. The plane ride and crash wasn’t a dream.

She certainly boarded the plane to Paris, and the emergency was real. Her senses confirmed it. The sights and sounds she experienced were vividly etched in her mind.

Then what? Why was she in the middle of Grand Canyon?

As Heesoo looked around, she froze. Smoke was rising in the distance. She noticed smoke from other distant areas as well.

Either there was a fire, or there were people. It was a sign of hope. But as she smiled in relief, Heesoo saw something bizarre. Turning slowly, she became as stiff as a rock.

‘My shadow... There are two of them.’

It was unbelievable.

Lost in this nonsensical situation, Heesoo moved around to check her shadows. One large, one small. Both of them were definitely all hers.

Looking for a logical answer, Heesu gazed upward at the sky, where the blazing sun was setting. Heesoo frowned at the sunset, then turned a bit more to the left.
