Nowhere to Be Found

by Bae Suah

Most of the people I knew long ago now live their lives without me, and those whom I will meet by chance one day do not know me now.

Tired. I was tired. I was only twenty-four, but I was tired.

Even now I think maybe my family is just a random collection of people I knew long ago and will never happen upon again, and people I don’t know yet but will meet by chance one day.

You have the eyes of a wolf-girl whose heart has never once been moved.
