Visual Fiction – Phantom Mountain

Jun-Young’s breath caught in his throat as he stepped outside and saw a mountain rising out of the mist, where before there had only been fields. It was Gwishin-san, the phantom mountain, which appeared every century, for one day only.

He had to leave soon. He had less than twenty-four hours to reach the peak.

  Hmm, okay, I will. This was only a teaser, but there is a potential story behind it. I will think on it and post it in two weeks. 🙂

What happened to the rest of the story? You left me wanting to read more! Have you ever seen a show called Haven? It is based on a book by Stephen King called The Colorado Kid. It kind of reminded me of that hehe.

  Yeah, Sharmishtha had the same reaction. I’ll write the rest of the story and post it next week. I haven’t heard of that show, but maybe I’ll look for it. 🙂

    Yay! Can’t wait to read more about it.
    Yeah it just reminded me of a scene from Haven where this barn is slowly appearing in dense fog which the main character has to go through to end all the troubles.
    The show is actually quite good though. I like it.
