Author's Comment

I wrote 24 short-short stories about "time."

From the fresh, blank morning just after waking, to the high noon with the sun shining brightly, the evening after work and the night relaxing at home, and finally the deep night when one falls into a deep sleep.

There must be a mysterious "time" deep within your heart as well.

On sleepless nights, please open it gently and read a story.
