Jinmenju

I am Dr. Black, a biologist for a Japanese company. Specifically, I am a botanist who came to Kyoto, because I heard about an unusual tree, called the Jinmenju. Some say it has eyes on the bark; eyes can actually see you.

I went into a nearby forest, after sunset. I eventually found the Jinmenju. The truth is that it's fruit has faces. Excluding, the faces, the fruit looked like peaches. I had heard that eating the fruit can extend your lifespan, by hundreds of years. It makes a bit of sense, since peaches are a symbol of immortality over here. Suddenly, I thought I saw one of the fruits wink at me. Then all of the fruits started to laugh. Although, the fruits were happy, I was still freaked out.

Some fruit laughed so hard, they fell off. I got one, and examined it, I deduced that its large seed, (which looked like a strawberry), was its 'brain.'

Despite, the stories, I wasn't comfortable taking a bite of something with a human face. I dropped the fruit, and left.

When I returned to America, I decided to omit the Jimenju from my report. While, I could have brought a fruit as proof, the revelation of the tree to the world, might have started World War 3.
