[Light is gathering in a hole in the clouds]

There was a hole in the clouds I looked up at.
The hole had a strange shape, but
the afternoon light was gathering there,
shining brightly.

It looks just like a warp zone.

If I could fly high and pass through it,
I might arrive at a different place.

I wonder what kind of place it is.

Because it was an unknown place and I was scared,
I thought I didn't want to go.

But if there were a way to return to this place immediately,
I also thought I would like to go just a little bit.

While imagining this, I walk toward the holey clouds.

Just now, wings have sprouted on me.
I feel happy and start to run.
The sensation of the ground against the soles of my feet becomes lighter and lighter,
and if I keep increasing my speed like this, I will surely be able to fly.
I speed up my foot movements, and when I finally kick off the ground,
I float up and am in the sky.
I flew straight toward the holey clouds.
I want to go to that place where the light is gathering.
Because I have wings, I wasn't afraid of the height.
In the blink of an eye, I came near the clouds,
and even if I look back, I can't tell where I started flying.
I stared into the bright light for a moment,
and while holding my breath,
I passed through the gathering of light.

There, I...

While imagining such things,
I walked, kicking the ground just a little harder.
