My dead friends
It's amusing to imagine them doing the same thing they were doing on this side
A writer reflects on friends who have passed away, imagining them continuing to enjoy life's pleasures in the afterlife. However, their reverie is disrupted by news of a tragic event that has shattered modern society. A high-speed train has been involved in a disaster, resulting in multiple fatalities. Meanwhile, societal chaos erupts as teenagers, driven by a fascination with violence, engage in destructive behavior, looting, and rioting, which politicians seem to exploit.
In response to the turmoil, the writer finds solace in a simple act of picking and arranging quince fruits.
