The daughter disappeared
The daughter disappeared
The parents lost their little daughter when she was playing on the playground. The police didn’t find her. The case was deemed as unsolved, and the investigation was closed. But the parents refused to give up. And they decided to contact a medium. This medium often helped the police and could often point out the exact location of a criminal or a missing person. When the medium arrived a few days later, she asked the parents to take her to the place where they had last seen their daughter. The mother and father took the medium to the park and watched her sit down on the grass, close her eyes, and do into a trance. Then she exclaimed, “Your daughter is alive! Her heart is beating and her lungs are breathing.” The happy parents held hands tightly. The mother asked, “But where is she now?” “She sees a luxurious house with expensive furniture,” the medium continued, “And only the most delicious food is in her stomach”. The mother breathed a sigh of relief again and pleaded, "But where is our daughter? Please tell us!" The medium hesitated for a while. Then her eyes opened wide, and she screamed, "She’s all over the world!" For a while, the parents of the missing girl stood motionless with their mouths wide open. Then they suddenly understood what the medium meant and fell on the floor, crying bitterly. What happened to the girl?

The black bird
I was alone in the mountains studying birds. When I accidentally fell from a height and broke my leg, I noticed an unknown black bird. I couldn't even get up, and I would have died of thirst or hunger if it hadn’t been for a strange girl who started coming to me every night. She had black hair, long eyelashes, and a charming smile. She never talked but just lay on top of me and fed me from her mouth. I thought it was raw meat. Sometimes, she gave me warm blood to drink, but I was so hungry that enjoyed any food. She left immediately afterwards. About a month later, my leg felt better. I managed to get up, return home, and finally have a proper meal. I was surprised when at night she somehow got into my room again and woke me up. Chewing something, she slowly started climbing on top of me again. I tried to resist, but in vain. She forced the food into my mouth and left, smiling. This time I was full, so I felt an aversion. Spitting everything out on the floor and recollecting myself, I managed see pieces of someone’s eye in this lump. Since then, it happened every night. Although I was grateful to her for saving me, I begin to feel really worried. Fortunately, she stopped visiting me after a couple of weeks. Five years have passed since then. I’m on Mount Fuji now, and here I met the black bird again. Now I understand everything. My time is short. Do you know why?
