It is such a powerful thing. Wonderful. I mean, the juxtapositions. When people say truth is stranger than fiction, this is the sort of thing they're talking about.
I would like to try to write it into the Asakiyumeverse, but it's so big, it deserves a story of its own. I wonder if people from the community have written about their experiences.

New York: Oxford University Press, 2007. But I wonder if there have been any stories.
