Gourd Seed

Katcha!

While Han Sen was checking out the gourd, he witnessed the gourd suddenly break. It was like the little gourd was a lamp that fell from the gourd vine.

When the gourd left the vine, the green gourd vine quickly died. It turned to dust that scattered across the ripples of the pool's water. After that, it disappeared.

The small gourd continued to float in front of Han Sen. It kept flickering like a heartbeat. It was like a firefly constantly flickering.

Han Sen wondered if he should reach his hand out to grab the little gourd. The small white rat that had been watching all that time finally jumped out from the water. With its mouth opened wide, it revealed its sharp teeth. It was going to try and bite the small gourd.

The small white rat's actions were too fast and sudden. Han Sen's mind had been fixated on the gourd. When he noticed the rat, it was already too late.
