Somebody

Mnemonic

A coffin has been left out in the sun for too long. When dead bodies are out in the sun like this, they really begin to decompose. You are wondering who this person is, though. You can't tell because it's fallen apart too much. You look on the coffin. There's a label, but it only says "someone."

Hints

Smell the stench of the decomposing body. Also, feel really curious as to who this person is. It came from somewhere that gives you a reason to believe it's someone you know. Then, feel the disappointment as you read the label that says "someone" instead of an actual name. "Someone," you repeat. "Someone."

Readings

On’yomi

しゃ

Kun’yomi

もの

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

To remember the sound しゃ we use "shaman."

It's time you open the coffin and check. Maybe there's more answers in there. There's no way this person could just be "someone." You lift the lid, and sure enough, you're able to figure out who it is. It's a shaman (しゃ), dressed in full shaman garb.

Hints

How strange that a shaman was delivered to you this way! Come up with a story explaining why this shaman's body is here at your door, rotting in the sun. Make it ridiculous and interesting so you remember it.
