I woke up in a strange park.
When I lifted my upper body from the bench and tried to remove the rubber gloves, I felt strange in my hand.
Stop removing the rubber gloves and look at the palms of your hands.
What is this unusual feeling?
Turn your wrist 180 degrees and look at the back.
Put it back and palm again.
And the back of the hand again ...
After repeating this eight times, the cause of the discomfort was finally found.
There are only four fingers in the palm and eight in total with both hands!
This has become tough!
He puts his hand on the rubber gloves to look at the raw hands, but he stops.
I felt sick just to imagine a hand with less than one finger.
Again, stare at your hands through the rubber gloves.
You can see the thumb, index finger and little finger.
However, it is not known whether the remaining one sandwiched between the forefinger and the little finger is the middle finger or the ring finger.
If one of them grows from a part close to the index finger, it is known as the middle finger, and if it is the little finger, it is known as the ring finger.
But they are neutral from both sides.
Perhaps four from the beginning?
Bending in order from the thumb of the left hand, count it as 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.
Moving to the right hand, the thumb is 5, the index finger is 6, the next finger is 7, and the little finger is 8.
There is no discomfort in this response.
Return to the left hand and move from the thumb to 9, 10, 11, 12, and right hand to 13, 14, 15, and 16.
Hexadecimal ... no doubt.
Apparently, while I was sleeping, I was dreaming of having five fingers ...

From somewhere a card like a playing card was carried by the wind and flew away.
I stretched out my hand with my rubber gloves, and pinched it with two fingers before the card fell to the ground.
It is a silver card that seems to be made of aluminum, with some characters written in black on one side only.
"Let's play the game together!"
Looking around, a man in the middle of the square was shaking his hand.
There are two iron boxes that reflect the sunlight and shine silver.
Both have black hands.
At the center of the iron box was something like a cylindrical doorknob.
As I approached, the iron box on the left hand side magically wrote something on the top of the card stack and handed me one of them.
The card itself is the same as the one we just flew away.
"I am Jack" is written.
This time, the iron box on the right handed me one card in the same way, "I am Vibra."
As Vibra gave me a bunch of remaining cards and magic, I wrote "Echo" and showed it to Jack and Vibra.
Each of them nods, and Jack takes away a bunch of cards and magic from me and begins to write something.
This time it's a bit long.
Meanwhile, Vibra seemed bored and reached for my face.
I fleeted for a moment, but decided not to move.
In the past, he remembered that his friendship with his dog had broken as soon as he avoided licking his face.
A palm like a vibra rubber glove touches my nose.
And the next moment, I wondered if Vibra's shoulders had swollen like a bowling ball, and in a blink of an eye she moved her arm to her palm and shocked my face!
My nose made a metallic sound, "snap!", And was pushed into it about 10 cm, where my consciousness was interrupted for an instant ...

What I experienced during that moment was longer than my life before.
I was in a small concrete room anyway.
With both hands open, I could touch two opposing walls at the same time.
When I stood up, my flat top of head touched firmly on the ceiling.
There was no doorway, only one small window with a grate.
In that room, the window was at my eye level, but outside the window, the ground was in front of me.
There was nothing but the ground as far as the eye could see, and a few meters away was dark.
It was quiet without the wind, but I heard a small noise from the left.
As the sound gradually approached, the sound finally appeared on the left side of the window.
It was like a silver coin.
Silver coins slid from left to right while spinning around.
It depicts a sailing boat, as if a small boat floating on the ground was passing by.
I thought that the sailing ship had disappeared to the right, and a silver coin slid from the left again.
This is a chicken.
The chicken disappeared to the right, as if chasing the fleeing sailing ship.
After that, the slide show of silver coins continued, but I do not remember what came out in what order now.
On the contrary, in their memories, they continue to move and relate to each other, forming a strange story...
