The Haunted Tea House

Sakura was hiking alone in the Yakusugi Forest on the island of Yakushima.

Rain began to fall quite heavily when she saw an old abandoned tea house and took cover inside.

She had walked a long way and was tired. She removed her backpack and using it as a pillow, fell asleep.

Sakura’s dreams were bad. She dreamed of yōkai. She dreamed that the tea house was built over a great, wide pit - a doorway used by the ancient dead to travel between the underworld and our world.

Worse still, Sakura’s dream was not a dream, for when she woke the yōkai were dragging her down to the underworld and feeding upon her.

(Many hikers seek cover inside the old abandoned tea house. They never return to the trail.)
