The Schoolhouse with No Shadow ==== \\ **Location:** Abandoned Lower City School, Near Urakami District \\ **Description:** \\ It stands intact---though none recall its name or number. The building casts no shadow at any hour, confirmed by multiple photo exposures and Judai’s careful sundial triangulation. Its windows are covered in maps of schools from other countries: Estonia, Peru, Cambodia. Inside, lessons are half-written in chalk---detailing how to track celestial drift using playground geometry. Juna locates a child’s notebook with sketches of shapes seen only from above. The school’s clocks all stopped at 2:17. On the roof, a sundial shows nothing. The air inside smells faintly of film stock. They leave without entering the second floor. Juna says, “It’s still taking attendance.” Judai agrees. \\ **Keywords:** \\ shadowless school, mapped displacement, celestial geometry, time-lock building, lingering attendance \\ **Very Short Story:** \\ They circled the building three times. Still no shadow. Juna climbed the fire escape and looked down. “I think we’re the ones missing,” she said. Judai checked his watch---it had paused again. A bell rang somewhere, but no one was nearby. “That’s not ours,” he muttered. Inside, the blackboard read: “CLASS IN REVERSE.” They didn’t write their names on the register. \\ ---- [[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day1_summary_stu|{{icon:t_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day2_summary_stu|{{icon:h_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day3_summary_stu|{{icon:e_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day4_summary_stu|{{icon:f_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day4b_summary_stu|{{icon:i_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day5_summary_stu|{{icon:r_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day6_summary_stu|{{icon:s_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day7_summary_stu|{{icon:t_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day8_summary_stu|{{icon:m_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day9_summary_stu|{{icon:o_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day10_summary_stu|{{icon:v_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day11_summary_stu|{{icon:i_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day12_summary_stu|{{icon:e_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day13_summary_stu|{{icon:o_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day14_summary_stu|{{icon:n_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day15_summary_stu|{{icon:t_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day16_summary_stu|{{icon:h_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day17_summary_stu|{{icon:e_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day18_summary_stu|{{icon:i_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day19_summary_stu|{{icon:n_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day20_summary_stu|{{icon:t_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day21_summary_stu|{{icon:e_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day22_summary_stu|{{icon:r_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day23_summary_stu|{{icon:n_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day24_summary_stu|{{icon:e_ufo.jpg}}]][[summary:stu_summary_26x1:day25_summary_stu|{{icon:t_ufo.jpg}}]]
