Even when spring came, death was in vogue. Every day when flowers fell, there were rumors that birds would soar, and outside the window, only white ghosts flew. The space of about 10 pyeong suffered from jet lag like a dog, and when I closed my eyes without being able to stroke my veins, my wrists became the frequency of the waves. Every time that happened, I just blankly stared at the burning stars… When the ground where my two feet should stand rises, the sky beyond the world sinks, and I will wait in that eternity. There was a world I wanted to return to. [Excerpt from Choi Baek-gyu, ‘The 6th New Mass Extinction on Earth’]
