She was burned by the flames of 'rumors'. In the summer 25 years ago, a supposedly peaceful regional city was shaken by the kidnapping and murder of a department store receptionist and its reporting. A massive shower of flames called 'rumors' rained down and blazed. The fate that continues to smolder in the town, which seemed to have finally regained its quiet, now provokes a new incident. 'They're already saying it! They say the parents killed her anyway!' I flinched at the words, overwhelmed. I open my eyes wide and stare at Eri. The daughter staring back at Chuji with red eyes wasn't crying. 'They're already saying it! I know! Everyone is saying it's weird that this family has to go through this twice, that there must be something wrong with the parents or the family.' --From the text ■ Author's Comment Big incidents fascinate people. 'I know because I'm a local, but actually...' 'I heard from a friend of a friend who is involved.' 'That victim is actually...' Why do 'we' want to be involved in an incident so much? I have always wished that if I ever write about it in a novel, I want to be the one to write it. The title is 'Fire Dome'. It is set in a mountainous regional city that resembles a town sleeping in a snow globe, where snow dances when you shake it. At the bottom of that city, invisible normally, flames are sinking if you shake it. The rumors surrounding the kidnapping and murder that happened in the past are those flames. I wrote it with all of my current self. I hope you enjoy 'Fire Dome'. --Mizuki Tsujimura Photo / Kasumi Osada ■ Author Profile: Mizuki Tsujimura Debuted on June 5, 2004, winning the 31st Mephisto Prize for 'A School Frozen in Time'.
