The Basque Country, perhaps the birthplace of the modern meaning of the words "revenge" and "strife"; Sandwiched between two countries, each town has a dialect that is so different that you can understand one town but not the other. So, you see, the laws of any country can't be controlled, and because of the language barrier, it also saves the trouble of fucking speaking, just let the fist, knife, and gun speak. This situation was exacerbated at a time when the damn unification dispute was going on, and neither of the two countries that sandwiched the Basque country in the middle wanted this mess, so the independents were deposited thinking that they could fight for independence while the whole planet was fucking ready to work together.

Everything is a mess, and everything is like a urinal where the devils who have fallen into hell and emit a stench that the devils don't want to smell.

But that's not something I remember from the beginning.

Light, don't look at me like this, the first thing I remember is also light. But it's obscene lights. It is a light that can only be conceived from the darkness in which the light of the outside world does not allow it to intervene.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the town where Basque independence gathered, there were several buildings such as taverns that were a little brighter than the others that formed a side street of their own. Unlike the street corners, which smell of vomit, the stench of human and animal feces, and the color of blood, this tail street, which is of the nature of the "Officers' Club", is a little "lighter" in terms of smell and color.

"It's a little better than the rabbi next door," said the little girl with her back to the dim sun.

"But we have a lot less garbage here, and if we continue like this, we won't be able to get enough to eat." Next to the little girl, the little boy who was squatting on the ground and pulling the piece of burlap next to him and the garbage bin next to him shouted.

"Do you care so much that you always find rats in the dumpsters over there? We also have rats here, and if we're lucky, aren't there always kind aunts who come to bring us food? The little girl who woke up first and lamented that her conditions were better than those of the next neighborhood said as she pulled the garbage debris from her hair.

"The rats over there are all alive, and we are basically dead here, and dead rats can't be eaten, Anji, they will die, and I always feel that when Big Brother Koslova was taken away by that aunt, I had a feeling that something was wrong." The little boy pulling the dumpster stopped and shook his head.

"Go wake up the others and let Lucia and Garcy Aire, who are the last ones on duty, come to sleep, a new day has to begin."

After saying that, the little girl watched her face in the distorted and broken light of the surface of the garbage can. When she looked at it like this, a choking stench rushed into her nose. Although this is a little lighter than the next block, it should also be "smelly", but my body and mind will not have a reaction of discomfort or disgust. Is it because I don't know what the "fragrance" should be, the girl named Anji thinks so, but no, I have smelled the fragrance of those big sisters and aunts--- the same choking, the same makes her feel uncomfortable.

So, is there really no difference between a scent and a smell? Is it actually the same taste? Then why do you have to separate the fragrance and the smell, both are called choking uncomfortable tastes? Thinking of this, the little girl sniffled, then twitched again.

food, the little girl Angie quickly crawled over and began to take over the place of Luke, who had just gone to call someone, rummaging through the garbage.

Half an hour later, 15 children gathered, laid stinking and sour food in front of them, knelt down in front of the dim sun, and began to pray--- which Angie had learned from a broken book. The children muttered and prayed to survive the day, for there was a rumor among the children that death was a terrible thing, and there were many things that could make them die, such as battles that could break out at any time, such as disease, such as ...

They prayed to live for the day, and then it was time to pounce on the food and eat. After eating, the children who went out for three days in a row and did not disappear and did not come back went out to beg, the children who went to other people's houses to get things for three days in a row and came back to get things, those who went to the next block to steal garbage for three days in a row came back to steal the garbage, and the rest squatted in their alleys and waited. As for Angie, she ran to a window in a nearby house and waited with joy.

Wait for a window to open, and a white arm that is different from oneself can stretch out and leave something, food, clothes, money, anything. The owner of that arm was Sister Vanessa, who had entered the big house last year to "contribute to the independence and glory of the Basque Country", and from time to time she would give something to her former companions.

Where have you been, you might be able to know the difference between fragrance and smell, right? Angie thought as she waited, but she waited for a long time before the hand dropped the thing. Forget it, in the past, Sister Vanessa would also have times when she was too tired to throw things--- thinking like this, Angie quietly slipped back.

"Sister Vanessa didn't throw anything." Angie shook her head at the children.

Looking at the disappointed expressions of the children, Anji said loudly:

"We're going to talk about one thing today, and I've found a way to get money from that broken book thing! You don't need to leave here to make money! ”

"Huh?!" "Really?!" "Great!". The children shouted in unison.

The money was undoubtedly important, because they could get the food that didn't smell sour and the weapons and ammunition they kept the alley up---, and although the children left behind didn't know what it was, the people before them said that important was important. People who can make money are undoubtedly respected in the alley and can get more of everything.

"That's it, it says that children like us can exchange our teeth for money, just put our teeth under the pillow, and a person called the tooth fairy will come and take them while we sleep, and then the tooth fairy will leave the money, and our teeth will grow out! In this way, you can keep making money! ”

"How much does a tooth cost?"

"I don't know, it's broken here." Angie spread her hands.

"Would you like to try it?" Luke whispered that he knew that dead rats would kill people if they ate them, but what was the Tooth Fairy?

"It doesn't matter how much money you have, it's good to have money, let's try it today, it's like going outside to make money, if you can attract tooth fairies with your teeth in three days, let's do it!" Lirita, Sister Vanessa lent me the pillow for you, by the way, Luke, don't you want to set up a sentry tonight? ”

"Is it okay if there is no sentry..."

"To make money."

"This 。。。。。。"

That day, Angie knocked out six of her teeth with a piece of iron and fell asleep under her worn-out pillow.

The next day, she woke up next to a woman.

"Angie?! You... How did you...? The woman grabbed the girl's shoulders and spat out a greasy smell at her.

"Sister Vanessa?" Angie woke up from the pain and saw the person in front of her.

"Why did you sleep in my room?" Vanessa wrapped her body in a sheet that had been eroded by the smell of decay all night, and asked in horror that the little girl she knew should live in the alley below, and now she was smiling to herself with a mouth full of blood and hollowness.

Yes, the cracked little mouth was hollow, and there was no organ to chop up food, only blood and darkness.

"Where are my teeth, what about my money, is the tooth fairy here?!" Angie asked, enduring the pain.

"What tooth fairy?! What money?! Why are you here, what about the others?! Vanessa was trembling, her whole body was covered with rotting worm-like licking every day, her body was constantly injected with dirty water, she had no emotions, the only thing that could make her tremble occasionally, and the only thing that made her feel like she was still a person was the children below, where she used to be.

And now, she suddenly had a premonition that this only concern was about to disappear.

"That's right, Sister Vanessa, we've found a new way to make money... Angie told Vanessa all about it, and then showed surprise under Vanessa's already demented gaze, "I must have earned the money, so they sent me here Sister Vanessa, you eat good food, right?!" ”

“。。。 So, you just pull Luke and the others and don't arrange sentry posts at night... Vanessa's voice gave Angie an icy feeling.

"The leader didn't agree at first, but when I heard that it was so easy to make money, I wanted to try it, in fact, we still left two people on duty...

Or did you leave someone on duty?! Vanessa suddenly gained strength, and she jumped up and ran to the window, pushing it open and looking down. Then Vanessa went limp like mud.

"Sister, what's the matter, are Luke here? Sister, what's wrong?! Sister, what the hell is going on?! Angie asked a few times, and found that her sister Vanessa was naked, just pressed her hands on the floor, kneeling there and convulsing, so she asked out loud.

It may be that her loudness attracts the attention of the people outside the door, making the people outside realize that the people inside have woken up, and the door is pushed open with a bang.

"Hawkers, although the harvest time is a little earlier this time, there will be customers who like such young goods, and if you don't have teeth, you don't have to worry about her biting, can you start selling it today? Oh, what's that look on your face, Vanessa, don't tell me you chose self-forgetfulness why these little things have survived until now? You come out for me!! ”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

That day, I began to embrace the cold, cold, light-symbolizing light of Vanessa's room blocked by curtains and only light.

I lost my tooth fairy and my teeth, and maybe something more.

The first night was monotonous, being licked all over my body by a tongue like a rotting earthworm, then wrapped in a toothless mouth and inserted into Vanessa's body, and sometimes the dirty water that was injected into Vanessa's body would also be injected into my body from my mouth, so that my body would accumulate dirty water, and like Vanessa, it would become just a humanoid skin that bulged up not because of blood and bones, but because of dirty water.

The floor creaked, objects went down to the depth of my throat where I vomited, and the stench stuck to my face, and I finally understood the difference between a stench and a scent.

I just stink, everything like me is stinky, all stink, and the fragrance is non-existent, the same as the tooth fairy.

will disappear without a trace in the light that symbolizes loss!

It's all stinky... It's all stinky... It stinks like my blood ... It stinks like my blood full of dirty water...
