A short story ”From Hahalei Bay" 短編小説「ハナレイ湾から」

 短編小説を書き上げました。400字詰30枚。タイトルは「ハナレイ湾から」。村上春樹さんの短編「ハナレイ・ベイ」とそれを元にした映画に触発されて書きました。原作よりも映画の方が心にしみました。今、AI翻訳の助けを借りながら英訳しています。I wrote a short story titled "From Hanalei Bay", being inspired by Haruki Murakami's short stroy "Hanalei Bay" and a movie based on it. I felt more with the movie version than the original story. Presently, I am making English translation with a help of AI translator.

News from Hawaii, about a shark attack at Hanalei Bay. So, it really does happen. ハワイの新聞にハナレイ湾でのサメ被害。実際に起こるんですね。
