The Waiting Road of Kumamoto

Driving through Kumamoto's forests, Yuki encountered a rapidly thickening fog. Her GPS glitched.

The road ahead seemed endless, repeating the same eerie curve. Then she spotted

a man by the guardrail, waving unnervingly through the mist. Daijoubu desu ka?

He pointed. Her GPS then reset, showing an unsettling message.

She looked up again. The same man was now standing much closer,

waving. With each blink, he was closer, his presence growing terrifyingly intimate.

Then, dozens more silent figures emerged from the fog, surrounding her car,

all waiting.
