The storm is coming.
The time was after 13:00.
I don’t have time to eat fried chicken in a store.
It’s nighttime when I go to Kuala Woh and return.
I ate and walked.
With a backpack on my back and a camera in my hand and a chicken on my left and a cola on my right, I pushed along the road without a sidewalk.
There was a dead wild dog on the side of the road.
And there was a thick cloud in the direction I was heading.
That’s nice. It’s a good life.
The real reason I traveled to Malaysia
I felt that the further I went, the deeper the jungle got.
The clouds were thick and the surroundings gradually became darker.
I wonder if I can walk on a road like this at night.
Am I going to die on the side of the road?
I was starting to miss the Japanese forests.
I got to about the 5km mark.
The sound of thunder was slowly approaching.
Wouldn’t it make sense to go any further?
Just when I thought I’d walk a little more and turn back when it started to rain,
the rain began to fall with gusto.
I hurriedly got my cappa and folding umbrella out of my backpack.
It was raining sideways, so the umbrella was useless.
I decided to go back the way I came.
Because it rained so fast that it looked like it’s going to rain this much,
I couldn’t help but laugh.
Since the air is clean, rainwater must be clean too, so I tried to put it directly in my mouth.
I found a place where I could stay in the rain, so I decided to wait for the rain to stop.
It may be raining hard now, but in a little while it will clear up again.
As I watched the rain, I thought a little about my life and whatnot.
I came to Tokyo with the intention of making an independent film, and although I completed one film, it didn’t win any awards at film festivals or anything like that.
I had hoped to hold my own screening, but due to the circumstances of the people who appeared in the film, it was completely hoarded.
I also wanted to make a film, and I was shooting with various people, but I had to break up because of the trouble of human relations, and I didn’t have the motivation to do it.
I really don’t think everything was going well.
I’ve been betrayed by a lot of people, and I’ve been betrayed by a lot of people.
I don’t know if it will be changed or not, but the truth is that I went to Malaysia thinking that I could change the current situation if I went somewhere else.
Despite the fact that I was also in debt.
I guess I’m in the rain.
Now I have no choice but to stand still.
After a while, the rain stopped.
I put my pack on my back and started walking again.
The corpse of the wild dog from earlier.
This is how life goes in cycles.
In one of the houses, the inhabitants of the house seemed to have been flooded under the floor, and they were watching the house intently.
When I give them a look that says, “You look like you’re having a hard time,
They laughed back with the pretense that it was a common occurrence.
To be continued…
