Not to change the subject, I thought this little Korean web comic is really badass, I'll print the link to view  first and then after you should read the translation on this page last, remember on the comic, scroll all the way down to the end. 

Mucho thanx to Spill members Brad G for finding it and Bat21 for the translation.

Translation:

It was around 11:20 in the night. After my self-study session at the school, I was leading my exhausted self back home. For some reason, not a single soul was to be seen on my way back that day. I live in a large apartment complex, so there’s usually people around even at night. 

Anyways, with a nagging feeling, I was walking while staring at the ground. I noticed that there was a shadow pointed towards me, even though I was sure that there wasn’t anyone ahead of me, and I looked up wondering whom it might be… 

There was a lady ahead, but her form seemed a bit odd. 
She was walking as if she had hurt her legs; stumbling around. The distance between us quickly shrank as she was walking slowly. As I got closer, I could see her more clearly. 

She was wearing pink PJ. It seemed as if she had broken joints at a few places. Her hair was incredibly messy, stretching in all directions. 

I got a weird feeling, so I stopped walking. 

Something told me that I shouldn’t move ahead, and I also didn’t have the courage to walk past her. (She turns around) "Scared witless that you can’t even scream." This saying is very true. I couldn’t even flinch in shock. 

"WHERE… IS MY BABY?" 

All sorts of thoughts passed through my head… 
Haa… I still don’t know why I said that… It scares me to think about it even today. 

I pointed as far as I could see, and said… 
"o-over there." The woman stumbled towards that direction… and I couldn’t see her anymore. 

Worried that I will meet her again, I quickly turned around to get out of the area. I couldn’t think about anything, but to walk towards somewhere more crowded at that moment. 

"WHY IS SHE NOT HERE?!!!!!!" I could hear her cry of anger. 

I couldn’t remember anything after that. Apparently a neighbour had discovered my fainted self and carried me back to my house. 

Author’s note: 
In 2007 at a certain apartment complex in Seoul’s Bongcheondong, a 33 year old female jumped to her death. The reason for her suicide was the delivery of a stillborn baby, a subsequent divorce with her husband and the loss of her 2 year-old daughter to her husband in a law-suit. 

She was rumoured to have been seen walking around in the apartment complex a few times since then. 
Her appearance of dislocated joints, broken limbs, blood-stained pyjamas at the time of her death has lead to people present at the scene of her death to suffer from nightmare.

I have heard amazing things about Beasts of Burden, but haven't gotten a chance to read it.  Maybe this will finally make me break down and buy it...

Comment by Michael5188 on August 24, 2011 at 3:05pm

Cool, I'll be there!  I'm sure the two are nothing alike whatsoever, but reading the summary makes me think of Homeward Bound. (which is a good thing)

 

Anyways I'll read it and come back to this comment and shake my head at how off I was.

yea drinking problems away = short term solution. talk to someone (on here or elsewhere) about whatever issues are going on. don't let BS run/ruin your life, putting things in perspective will help. trust me, i've had a pretty rough summer due to a breakup... best thing i did to keep myself afloat was keeping my brain busy, talking to friends about what was going on in my life & in my head. the easy way out is either through massive drinking and/or giving into the craziness. very hard to take a step out of whatever BS goes on. am i right?

Dumpes, no one said anything about drinking your problems away. I'm talking about being adults. You'll certainly be better served having a friend listening than posting in the group. You know how to contact me when you are ready.
