Though not immediately, the waning gibbous moon will surely make dreams come true.

Though not immediately, the waning gibbous moon will surely make dreams come true.

陸 なるみ

A 29-year-old unmarried man notices the romantic feelings he had abandoned when he looks at the moon on his way home from work. Seven years into his career as a working adult, he has grown accustomed to both his job and living alone, but he finds no sense of fulfillment in anything. He has lost the energy to chase his dreams. The man, who was in the literary club during university, gazes at the moon and recalls a conversation with a woman he once loved. It likely has a happy ending. It is a short story of approximately 1,600 words. ***This is a work submitted for the "Tales of the Moon" project hosted by Yorioan Takeshi (Fujitani K-suke).
