-Tick Tock- The clock tower promise

 

 

The book is a story of two extremes – a cruel, yet beautiful story. In the firefly forest on the edge of the town, there is a mysterious clock tower that stops at 11:59 even though it is not broken. The clock tower is home to the hen ‘Tac Tuck” of the genk’s jiji. Many years ago, when Tic Tac was younger, a certain orphan girl came to visit here. Her name is Nina. Tic Tac and Nina promised to hear the sound of the bell at midnight on this clock tower together. But that promise did not come true.

Because, “a bird of fire” has come to the forest. Why did the clock stand stop at 11:59? When you understand the reason, you will always tear.

Poupelle Of Chimney Town

 

 

There was a town isolated from the outside world, surrounded by a 4,000 meter tall cliff.The town was full of chimneys.
Smoke rose from everywhere, clouding the sky above.Smoke, smoke, from morning till night.
The people living in the chimney town were encaged in black smoke,and did not know about the blue sky.They did not know about the shining stars.

The town was in the midst of the Halloween festival.Joined by the smoke for warding off evil spirits, the town was even smokier than usual.
One day,A deliveryman dashing across the night sky choked on the smokeand carelessly dropped a heart he was delivering.
With such terrible visibility, there was no way to know where it fell.
The deliveryman quickly gave up and ran off into the night.
Thump thump, thump thump, thumpity thump thump.
The heart was beating in one corner of the chimney town.
