[Synopsis of the novel “Para Pluy”]

One night, I, a translator, meet an alluring woman named Yumi at a bar, and we spend the night together. Later, Yumi told me a horrifying story about how, by mistaking an umbrella, Yumi was replaced with a “Yumi” from another world…

Are the me of yesterday and the me of today really the same person? A short story that appeals to all five senses, where a romantic romance turns into a sci-fi suspense.
