Description
Michael is visiting Japan, his father's home country, but he feels left out. Not only can he not speak a sentence in Japanese, he doesn't resemble his family or anyone in the country whatsoever. Anyone who sees him can tell he's never been here before. The only excitement he gets is when his family boards the shinkansen, the famous bullet train that's rumored to be the fastest in Japan. And that's the least frightening rumor. The others are much darker. Stories of people going missing near the train station. Especially the legend of the Teke Teke, the ghost who used to be a normal girl before meeting her demise by the shinkansen. At first, Michael brushes them off. They're just legends and rumors, after all. But then, he sees how pale and eerie the passengers seem, how they lack any emotion or warmth in their pale faces and hollow eyes. The dark shadowy figure running along the tracks, fast enough to keep up with the train. And the terrifying sound that repeats in his head...
