Ghost Leg

This is a story I thought up in my head.
Ghost Leg Boy came home and went to the bathroom. Even though he would fall apart if he got in the bath, he got into the bathtub. His lines disappeared and he became a see-through person. Only his hands and legs and his eyes were left. Then he went outside. When he opened a manhole, there were lots of lines inside. He pulled on one of them and lots of lines came out. He attached them to his body and returned to his Ghost Leg self.

REMARKS

Ghost Leg , known in Japan as Amidakuji (阿弥陀籤, “Amida lottery”, so named because the paper was folded into a fan shape resembling Amida’s halo) or in Korea as Sadaritagi (사다리타기, literally “ladder climbing”), is a method of lottery designed to create random pairings between two sets of any number of things, as long as the number of elements in each set is the same. This is often used to distribute things among people, where the number of things distributed is the same as the number of people. For instance, chores or prizes could be assigned fairly and randomly this way.
