My footsteps echo throughout the narrow passage, each step doubling and tripling as I make my way from one end to the other.
Recently I had a conversation with a veteran of the construction industry. He told me that for every skyscraper built a number of lives are lost and that only the deaths that occur outside the construction site's boundaries ever make the news. He continued that this building in particular was quite famous for its ghosts.
My footsteps echo throughout the narrow passage, but I wonder if they are really mine.
足音が狭い通路中に響く、
端から端まで、一歩一歩の足音が2倍、3倍になる。
最近、ある建設業界のベテランと話した。
彼によると、高層ビルが建てる度に、何人かの命が奪われ、
事件が建設現場の境界の外で起きる場合のみニュースになる。
そして、この建物は幽霊が出ることで特に有名と続けて語った。
足音がこの狭い通路中に響くけれど、
本当に自分の足音だろうか?
