Obaachan's Story Junko Geddes

In my recurring nightmare... unfathomable monster chases after me, trying to squeeze the air out of me with its giant hands. Desperately, I try to escape without knowing where to run. It lives in my dreams, freezes my blood, and pounds my soul down to the pulp. During the daylight, I do my chores, fulfill my obligations as a mother, wife, and good daughter. In the evening, I surrender to my dream. Until, I woke up to face my reality, chose to walk on the treacherous landscape, to find my independence and my happiness.
