Under the Constellation

Under the Constellation

千東風子

I am a dog. But I'm the youngest in this house. I have a father, a mother, an older sister, and an older brother. But now only my mother and I are in this house. The three of them have become "stars" beyond the distant sky and are watching over us, they say. I wish they would just stay home, but human rules are strange. This is a story about a child gazing at their mother with innocent eyes. It's a thousand-character short story that I was late submitting to the Narou Radio Grand Prize 4. Since I have the chance, I'm posting it as is, with a thousand characters. This contains expressions about a mother losing her child and a family losing members one after another. If this is a trigger for you, please feel free to skip it.
