Zetsubou's Garden
Zetsubou found her way
through the hanging frames. A new client was approaching and it was someone
with a lot of baggage. She found herself watching snapshot memories of
people, places and events, both real and imagined. Ever more frames appeared
on strings, dangling from an invisible ceiling.
Not even a brush of wind disturbed the frames and yet there was grass below
her feet and flowering plants appeared to do quite well in between the
crumbling walls. The general feeling of the place was one of openness and
yet.... it was also closed off and safe.
A sofa appeared at will and Zetsubou took place upon it, waiting. Her
comfortable seat was upholstered in brown leather, which took on her body
heat quite easily. A table with refreshments appeared just as the client
entered Zetsubou's space.
"Welcome." the tall, willowy woman said, gesturing for her client to take a
seat in one of three matching couches.
The visitor looked confused, they always were, but the specter finally
settled. As usual it was difficult to make out the eact identity of the
client. More than one person had featured in the memory frames, but
experience had taught Zetsubou that not every person imagined themself in
their memories. But the mystery would be cleared eventually.
" So this is how this works...." Zetsubou started.
She explained, gently and for lack of a better word, that this was the
afterlife. Not all souls were ready to move on and Zetsubou was one of those
able to help them. The process involved looking for unfinished business and
lingering regrets as popular fiction called it in the living world.
Sometimes it was just that, talking about memories, at times it was a more
physical process that required a more abrupt approach. It all depended on
the client.
When the spectre finally took shape and started to fade toward the actual
afterlife, Zetsubou sighed and rested.
Only a few minutes later, one of her coworkers appeared. They sat down
oposite her and asked:
"Ready for a break?"
"Is it that time already?"
"You say that as if you haven't been counting down the cases."
"I guess everyone does." Zetsubou grinned.
"Have fun and I'll see you soon."

For someone used to seeing
entire lives condensed into pictures in a single place, the Fur and Feathers
Chos Redux was still a lot to take in. Chaos seemed to be an apt description
and though Zetsubou had tried to look for meaningful threads, it had been
futile to try and make sense of some of the things that were happening. She
had done the next best thing, shutting out the most disturbing things and
had just shut down her wtf-meter and had strated rolling with whatever was
going on.
Like how she had gotten here. She knew she'd been travelling to he usual
retreat. Zetsubou was not someone who changed her routine. But somehow,
somewhere, something had happened and now she was here. Waiting for a dragon
to hatch and bond her. Would that be a breach of contract? Who knew.
Zetsubou figured contracts could be re-negotiated anyway.
"That's a good look on life." a voice
sounding like a cool flow of water told her.
"I try." Zetsubou replied.
She tried looking for the source of the voice, but that was hard as it had
sounded in her mind. The next time she heard it with her ears:
"My name is Mihdize."
Zetsubou looked down and saw a yellow dragon with grey fur and periwinkle
blue wings. Intelligent purple eyes met hers without fear. And then the
dragon shifted and a small human child stood before her, arms held up.
'You are easier to carry like this." Zetsubou agreed.
She picked up Mihdize and carried her away from the chaotic grounds were
multiple dragons were looking for someone to bond with. Looking for a
secluded spot to rest and eat, Zetsubou soon realised that her life was now
changed.
