I have no memory of my childhood. One day, I found a key and a map in a backpack left by my father. My intuition told me that this key could help me regain my memory.

Following the instructions on the map, I arrived at an uninhabited white house. An indescribable fear oppressed me: untied coffee cups, unfinished sweaters, half-finished homework, and clocks with all hands stopped at the same time. The house seemed to have died in an instant.

I came to a piano and it suddenly felt like déjà vu. I had been here before.

"My Dead Home" contains all kinds of my thoughts and is a work of my confidence, but it was coldly received. I began to look at critics with suspicion. - Keigo Higashino

This is a story about finding yourself, a journey of self-salvation. Each of us may have had the feeling of having no place to go, suddenly feeling lonely and scared. That's because, like the protagonist of the story, we have lost our former selves. ——Editor in Charge of this Book
