Chapter 9

Kafka On The Shore
By: Haruki Murakami

Chapter 9
At the beginning of the chapter we find kafka in the woods, or somewhere in a thick brush. We Know its night because he can't see a thing. He doesn't remember how he had gotten there. Kafka doesn't know where his backpack is and tries searching for it, he eventually finds it by the tree trunk and looks around to see if he's been robbed. With his tiny flashlight he knows none of his belongings are missing. The last thing he remembers is he had a second helping of his dinner and after that his memory is erased. He finds himself near a Shinto shrine and helps himself to the bathroom. In the bathroom he realizes how terrible he looks and then on his shirt is a lot of blood. definetly not his own blood and he freaks out not knowing what to do and where to go because of the blood on him he calls Sakura, the Girl from the bus ride, and asks her for help. She tells him to take a cab to her apartment where she questions about his eintire journey and how he got to this position. Kafka just scared and looking for help pours everything out. from the time he left his house to right before he called her. But of course he left out the omen part, that he knows, he can't tell anyone.
