A shared smile between two people, the sound of a tennis shoe stepping into a puddle, a text message sent with a slam effect.

Before smartphones, you’d know you were about to receive a text message when your pc monitor went KZZRT—!!

I recently found a collection of poetry in a used bookshop. When I opened it up, a little note fell out. It was a message from 1981.

Raindrops and flashes of lightning caught on CCTV.

Walking. The pitter-patter of rain rushed up behind me. A raindrop as big as a Ghibli tear smacked me right in the face. I started laughing.

What’s your favorite fruit~? Right now I’m really into strawberries and bananas~!

We’re all just lil bugs caught in the World Wide Web.

Saw some guys playing basketball. Shirts vs Skins. Lightning bugs were flashing all around. I thought, “summer evenings are really magical.”

Tried using an extra long bandaid today. It went round and round my finger until it turned purple. Too tight! Too tight!

I was going to wait until my page had a cute design, but maybe it’s okay to post first and decorate later. ^^
