Editing City Series:Volume7 Appendix (section)

=== Story 2: Summer===

I went to the beach for a training camp during the summer.

And when I say the beach, I mean a small island where the beach really is all there is.

But that’s better than nothing, I suppose.

The beach was white and the ocean was a breathtaking blue.

“Man, the lack of pollution sure is nice,” one of the others said while taking a look around. “Is there anything we could take back as a souvenir?”

“How about taking back the seawater?” I suggested.

Everyone else exchanged a glance.

“I don’t think that would work.”

“We’re going back by boat and train, after all.”

I scratched my head and pondered the issue.

“What if we solidified a portion of the ocean in gelatin?” I suggested.

Everyone else exchanged a glance.

“That could be interesting.”

We ended up pooling our money, heading back to the port town, and buying some there.

“Now we just have to wait a few minutes.”

We waited for the next day to arrive with the 40cm cube sitting on the table.

“Oh, no! It’s a typhoon! The waves have broken through the embankment!”

“Yikes! The seawater is already getting in here!”

We gathered up our luggage and withdrew to the attic.

The wind blew outside and the inn shook.

The next morning, we woke up to find all the water gone.

And our portion of the ocean had vanished from the table.
