Desert Island Life Lucky Bag [Weekly Short-Short Note]
I hate Christmas.
I hate Santa even more.
There is no father in my house.
That's why Santa doesn't come.
A friend said, "Of course Santa doesn't exist. I saw my dad secretly putting the presents down."
Seeing that annoying grin on his face,
I kicked my chair with a clatter.
They fell silent instantly.
I left the classroom in a hurry.
When I got home, an advent calendar was displayed in the entryway. My mother, who is busy with work, prepared it every year so I wouldn't feel lonely.
Today is December 1st.
When I opened the first day, a shiny star popped out. A bell chimed, clink-clink.
"Congratulations! You have won the Desert Island Life Lucky Bag!"
The next moment, I was in a forest.
Is this... a desert island?
Inside the lucky bag were some food and daily necessities.
I pushed through the dense trees and arrived at the beach.
Night fell, and I ate a little food and slept in a sleeping bag.
Morning came, and night came again, but I was all alone.
Could it be that I'll be like this for the rest of my life...?
The moment I felt a chill, that star appeared.
"Did you enjoy the Desert Island Life Lucky Bag? Well then, it's over now!⭐︎"
When I realized it, I was back at my home's entryway.
Was it a dream?
But there was sand from that beach on my hands.
"Riku, welcome home. I finished work early today, so why don't we decorate the Christmas tree together?"
"Yeah, I'll take it out, so you should rest, Mom."
"Oh, that's unusual. Oh, and make sure to put the star from the advent calendar on the very top."
When I cautiously opened the drawer for the 1st, there was a star ornament and chocolate inside. As I ate the chocolate, I couldn't help but look forward to opening tomorrow's drawer.
