My friendly frog, you inspire me to write.
How I love the way you swim, walk and squeak,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the intense chic.

Let me compare you to a cheerful tune?
You are more fancy and hyperactive
Steep sun heats the streamline peaches of June,
And summertime is interactive.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
I love your fearful color, teeth and eyes.
Thinking of your tearful teeth fills my days.
My love for you is the dense galvanize.

What they talked about, I have no idea … . It was no doubt whatever a young married couple spending their first time privately in each other’s company in the long, probably harried day would talk about. It was the murmur of their voices, the back-and-forth, the unnoticed stretching away of time between my bedtime and theirs, that made me bask there at my distance. What I felt was not that I was excluded from them but that I was included, in – and because of – what I could hear in their voices and what I could see of their faces in the cone of yellow light under the brown-scorched shade.

(This is what i have so far, yeah i know its bad)

Whilst investigating the death of a local assassin, a brave student called Kurisu uncovers a legend about a supernaturally-cursed, golden kunai circulating throughout New York. As soon as anyone uses the kunai, he or she has exactly 8 weeks left to live.

The doomed few appear to be ordinary people during day to day life, but when photographed, they look distorted. A marked person feels like a burning fire to touch.

Kurisu gets hold of the kunai, refusing to believe the superstition. A collage of images flash into his mind: a bloody mask balancing on a assassin's face, an old newspaper headline about a gang accident, a hooded man ranting about bodys and a drinking well located in a hidden location in the woods.

When Kurisu notices his arms have fire-like properties, he realizes that the curse of the golden kunai is true and calls in his friend, a nurse called Alex, to help.

Alex examines the kunai and willingly submits herself to the curse. She finds that the same visions flash before her eyes. She finds the bloody mask balancing on an assassin's face particularly chilling. She joins the queue for a supernatural death.

Kurisu and Alex pursue a quest to uncover the meaning of the visions, starting with a search for the hooded man.


A few years later, Kurisu walked over to the window and reflected on his dark surroundings.

He had survived the curse and was now living in the forest next to the well. He had figured his friend Alex burned up in flames as he didn’t see her make it to drink from the well in time.

Then he saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Alex. Kurisu gulped. He was not prepared for Alex.

As Kurisu stepped outside and Alex came closer, he could see the easy glint in her eye.

"I am here because I want you dead," Alex bellowed, in a giving tone. “You left me to die out there” she showed him a burn across her arms. “This is what that curse did to me” She slammed her fist against Kurisu's chest, with the force of 10 bulls. "But it made me stronger, Kurisu."

Kurisu looked back, even more shocked and still holding the gold kunai. "Alex, I don't want to hurt you," he replied.

They looked at each other with mixed feelings. While classical music played in the background, two angry and confused people were standing in the rain.

Kurisu regarded Alex's skinny limbs and burnt body. He held out his hand. "Let's not fight," he whispered, gently.

"Hmph," pondered Alex.

"Please?" begged Kurisu “I never meant to hurt you”. He showed her that he had a scar across his face from the golden blade.

Alex looked concerned, her body glistening in the morning rain like a bloody knife.

Then Kurisu led Alex inside for a nice glass of lemonade.

Who would be a turtle who could help it?
A barely mobile hard roll, a four-oared helmet,
she can ill afford the chances she must take
in rowing toward the grasses that she eats.
Her track is graceless, like dragging
a packing-case places, and almost any slope
defeats her modest hopes. Even being practical,
she's often stuck up to the axle on her way
to something edible. With everything optimal,
she skirts the ditch which would convert
her shell into a serving dish. She lives
below luck-level, never imagining some lottery
will change her load of pottery to wings.
Her only levity is patience,
the sport of truly chastened things.
-Kay Ryan, "Turtle"
