ちょっと近道をしようと、普段行かない街に入り込んだ。
寂れてる上に治安があまり良くないと言われている土地ではあるが、真昼間に通り抜けるだけなら問題ないだろう。

街に抜けたらあの店でﾊﾔｼﾗｲｽでも食おう
そう思ってふと顔を上げたら、理解しがたいものが視界に入り込んできた・・・

The area was said to be desolate with little law and order but I thought there would be no problem cutting through in the middle of the day. When I headed down there were in fact next to no people nor vehicles and it was so quiet that you could faintly hear the sound of a radio or television. It was eerie but I thought that I should be able to pass through if I kept going. When I got to the end of the street I fancied having something to eat at "Hayashi Rice":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayashi_rice and, looking up, something incomprehensible lept into my field of vision...
