Weekly Contest #353
From treasured annals of the Kojiki, to the hallowed tales of the Nihon Shoki, on an island named Onogoro far from the lands of the rising sun, where the whipping winds are overeager and the waves are high, there sits a palace of two halves. A curious fog wraps around this place. It is not a place of mortal men, nor have the likes of men ever set foot here.

In the day the sun is bright and warm and flares down on the beaches, so when barefooted children rush downshore to the sea they feel the warmth of the sand with their toes and taste salt on the breeze. But at night there is no such warmth, and the water is deeply cold and ebbs and flows with the tide. The waves crash and the land cools and the coastal winds pour into the bay like sighs of the Mother Earth, and if rain comes it comes tenderly, soaking into the sand and soil.By the middle of Mar...
