THERE IS HOPE FOR HUMANITY
Alternative version of "Spider's Thread," a short story by the writer Akutagawa Ryunosuke, a classic of Japanese literature. The title transparently hints that my version of the story has a different ending than the original. Also created on request, like the return of the leader of the Red Skins.
The story is almost 700 words long. Cost - 400 UAH. In the photo: Akutagawa Ryunosuke working on a new story, Tokyo.
A small excerpt, traditionally the first third of the story (or the novel):
"Buddha loved solitude, but even more he loved to be alone on the shore of the Lotus Lake. Paradise began in the morning, lotus flowers bloomed after a night's sleep. Everything most beautiful that could happen in the world this morning was concentrated in the scents of hundreds of snow-white flowers.
Buddha bypassed the lake, enjoying the morning freshness. But is everywhere as good, as beautiful and bright as in paradise? Buddha looked down, through the thickness of the water, and felt an involuntary touch of sadness. Far below, hell was visible, and many sinners suffered there. Looking closer, Buddha recognized one of them. That man was called Kantata, he was a great scoundrel, although he had once done good. However, a small, insignificant good deed. During a walk in the forest, he saw a spider that blocked the path with its silvery web. Kantata was about to crush it, but changed his mind. In order not to shorten the life of the innocent creature, he bypassed that place on the path and went his own way.
Buddha remembered this story and decided that he must give him a chance to get out of hell, as he gave the spider a chance to fully live its short life. Buddha looked around, and almost immediately saw a heavenly spider weaving a web among the malachite leaves of the lotus. So, it's decided - the thin web stretched far down, straight to Kantata."
