Japanese Cryptic: Human Eyes

Translated from Japanese by Shishou(師匠)


Cryptic Story


A salary-man was looking outside the window of his apartment.
At that moment, a woman jumped from the rooftop of that building to commit suicide.
The man saw her fall to the ground through his window.
Later, he said this.
"My eyes met her...."
Human eyes are one of the most creepy things.



  1. Since he did not get traumatic after seeing her, it means the suicide did not happen at that time, but earlier. The woman he saw was a ghost, wasn't she? And maybe the woman is not accidentally looked at the narrator eyes but purposely. Maybe the narrator is the subject of hatred.

    1. Sorry for the late reply. It could be possible that the woman was already dead, and the man only saw her ghost. But honestly, even I don't know the correct explanation of this cryptic. One explanation could be that she didn't commit suicide , instead she was murdered. If it were a suicide, then she would have fallen with her back towards the man. But if someone murdered her and threw her such that her eyes faced the building, then it would be possible for the man to see her eyes.
