(Megane)
by Naoko OGIGAMI
Taeko arrives by propeller plane at a small beach town. Passing through, the gentle breeze coming from the ocean is sweeping over the foreboding of strange events to unfold. With no cell phone service and a variety of eccentric characters surrounding her, Taeko finds herself warming to her own retirement.
