Description

He-y come on ou-t! Shinichi Hoshi He-y come on ou-t! is a short story written by Shinichi Hoshi. He is a Japanese author known for his short fiction stories whom wrote this text in 1989 featuring in a compilation called The Best Japanese Science Fiction Stories. Even though Shinichi’s story is considered as part of the fiction genre, the situations reflected are a real issue and are happening until these days. In this text, the author narrates the story of a small village that suffered the damages caused by a typhoon which also left a mysterious hole. As the story continues, the people from the village take advantage of the properties of this magic hole which seems to disappear everything that is thrown in there. So, a concessionaire obtains the property of the hole and converts it in a massive dump, so the people and companies throw away their waste. But what they don’t know is that after some time, the first object that was thrown falls from the sky. With this ending implying that the hole will return all the stuff back. As it is seen, this is a story that can be familiar to us in the real life. We can see in He-y, come on ou-t! a reflection of how we had treated our planet and how we are taking advantage of the nature resources. We came to a point in which the planet has to tell us to stop through different signals such as animal and plant species extinction, melting of the poles, famines, droughts and the most known, climate change. All these signals are equivalent at the moment in the story when the hole returns all what was thrown there back to the village, implying that every action has a consequence. Shinichi Hoshi warns readers of the effect our actions are having on the environment while telling us that careless actions will always have consequences. Throughout history we've just dumped our waste in places and watched it disappear, but it never simply disappears. It always comes back to affect us in some way, whether it kills off species of animals, pollutes our water, or depletes our ozone. We dump our problems and hope that they'll disappear. No one wants to think about it, but Hoshi's story reminds us that we can't hide our mistakes so easily, because they will always come back around to us somehow....
