Sweat Crunker

Image
Since its wheel wasn't smooth, the clunker always has hard time to move forward. Even though the road was smooth, he couldn't move without pretty rough vibration, and once the road turned rough, he moves with great struggle with relentless shocks. On hot days, he also sweated a lot. Although he managed to move from place to place, he was always under stresses.

The next day

The next day at school, I talked with my friends. Obayashi, one of the popular students, speaks about Dragon Something. I've just got to the second continent and now I'm in Rosalia. A few students followed him and asked him several questions, and they also told one another how far their characters advanced. I was also asked how far I'd got to. I said that I was probably level three or four. Every guy in the class seemed to have taken up their own quest. I got to the screen as soon as school finished, and came face to face with the name entry screen just as I did the day before. I had no idea again. I quit the game because I had to yield TV after I played one hour.

The first day I played my favorite RPG "Dragon Something"

Image
I bought the software. I opened the package. I set the cartridge, turned on my computer, and sat in front of the screen. After watching opening demo, with great excitement, I pressed the start button. Then name entry screen appeared. Enter Your Name ! "My name?" I was startled. I didn't want to enter my real name because I didn't want to let my hero with my own name die out of my mistake or in an unexpected situation. However, I didn't any idea of fictional names because I had read few fictions. Anne for my hero? That's even more unsuitable. After I stuck in front of the screen for an hour struggling with the character name, I turned off the computer. That was my first day with "Dragon Something".

TEST

............... Hello...

............... Hello... I'm MaittakB. I'm so shy that it's taken time to introduce myself. The number of dots shows how I've hesitated to communicate: One day it took 15 minutes to say my name and begin introducing myself. When I bought my favorite RPG, it took so long as 7 days to determine the name of my characters that I couldn't begin to play it until then. One day when I took a phonecall, I didn't know how to answer and was silent for minutes, so I thought of this as "prank receive", just like a prank call. When I had to respond to an email for the first time, I was thinking how to answer fortnight for fear being impolite. It's taken over 10 years to leave any comment on the internet since I began surfing the Web. I'm learning how to interact and how to adjust my communication speed and precision fit to real time communications.

An odd car stands on the shore

Image
When I went to a seashore, I saw an odd car. It had only one wheel, and its surface was saw-toothed. On the both sides of the face was red marks, on each of which was a green light. It sat on the ground alone, except for a huge bus far behind. Even from that distance, the bus looked proud, while the odd car looked somehow weak and helpless.
