Dramas, dramas.
As was trying to concentrate on work (very difficult lately), a local phone rings. The realty agent.
‘a-no, did you already stay in your apartment?’
‘yeah, all’s well’
‘a-no, the landlord, a-no, called me today. You know, a-no, its a 13-story building.’
‘yeah (was it?)’
’someone fell from 13th floor on sat night. A-no, the person died.’
Then long long long apologetic and sad talks about this.
‘a-no, this is just among japanese. I hope, a-no, you wont consider this as bad luck.’
I grew up w plenty of stories about ghosts, definitely not less than here. It was my first night in the apartment. How should i take this? Any cultural insight?
