Synopsis of Summer, Fireworks and My Dead Body:
It was still bright at 6 o'clock in the afternoon on a summer day. My best friend and I sat on a tall tree, watching the boy I liked waving his hand and running from the other side of the forest. The wind caressed my cheeks, and the fragrance of leaves filled the air. It was so nice! A warm little hand rested on my back, and I fell down and died. The boy ran under the tree and smiled at me, who was motionless. "Hide May," he said. I opened my eyes and watched them desperately trying to hide my body, trying not to let others find it. Ah! It was so hard. No matter how I hid, I could not find peace.
