She is laying in a room, with her hands tied behind her, her boobs naked and there are about very hungry babies who all seem to spy her nipples at the same time. They begin to crawl toward her with hungry little mouths. Their little hands and mouths were upon her. When she screamed, it made some babies cry. They fought and bit, and she bled milk and blood. I was travelling with mommy and daddy on a cruise liner bound for Hawaii, when I started to hear strange bumps against the ship during the night.
3 Strange Tales
The next morning, the passengers who would normally be getting excited because the island was in sight, were excited about something else. This was causing a buzz as they gathered at the rails at the front and sides of the ship. There were rafts and bodies and rafts with bodies on them with live and dead men, women and children. The living were calling out to the ship.
They were like skeletons on little pirate ships, mining for death amongst the blue and green of the emerald and sapphire waters. Bodies were bobbing like real fishing bobbers, because they were getting bites. They were getting bites as a great feeding frenzy took place from below and above as sharks, fish and sea birds tore chunks from them. Some birds and fish were so full, they vomited back up human gore, which was re-eaten.
This scene caused some of the passengers to become ill too. Their vomit mixed with the sea and animal puke to make a great soup of death. My father worked for a company that opened doors and got things done. He demanded to see the captain. After a phone call, he was granted a behind-closed-doors meeting.

This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Nov 08, Rise rated it really liked it. I met the couple yesterday, a little past noon. The breeze blew through and pulled back the silk scarf draped over the woman and I saw her face for just a moment. It was just a second, because then I couldn't see it anymore. Maybe that was the reason, I'm not sure, but she looked like she'd fallen from heaven and I made up my mind then and there to steal her away, even if it meant killing the man.
The speaker, the notorious bandit Tajomaru, was confessing to the crime. All he needed was just a se I met the couple yesterday, a little past noon. All he needed was just a second to be waylaid. He wasn't sure what compelled him to do harm. He thought it was the breeze momentarily revealing the face of a woman.
Maybe that was the reason, I'm not sure. But he made up his mind there and then. But you didn't see her face. You didn't see the way her eyes burned when she said it. When I saw her face, let God strike me dead, I had to have her for my wife. I had to have her—that was the only thought in my head. They are rash, impulsive.

The moment I stood the man kicked me to the ground, and it was just then that I saw the glint—it's hard to describe it, but there was a glint in my husband's eyes.
I don't know how to describe it, but just the memory of it sends shivers down my spine. The woman's testimony, contradicting the bandit's, was equally strange. She knew what she had seen—a glint—and was terrified of it. There was uncertainty on her part it's hard to describe it I don't know how to describe it but she nonetheless left an indelible image— a glint —that will be very hard to forget. The last story from the recent translation 3 Strange Tales.
It was in fact the fourth story, a "bonus story" after the first three. The inexact number of stories in the title may be fitting, given the set of unreliable narrators in "In a Grove" whose testimonies regarding what happened on the day a man was killed were oddly at odds with each other. All four stories were unified by a mood of passionate intensity. The characters were impulsive, highly sensitive, slaves to their feelings. Their violent deeds were executed with no fuss.
In moments of desperation, they were, moreover, not quite themselves. They seemed to be possessed by somebody else. Here was the murdered victim of "In a Grove", his testimony spoken through a medium , no less. The grove was silent, or I thought it was. Straining my ears in the quiet, I could just make out the sound of someone crying.
