Koohii stories:

1) [Stormchild] 11-4-2007(383): One of the dearest of Japan's dearly departed is Sasaki Sadako, who developed Leukemia after the bombing of Hiroshima, and became famous for folding more than a thousand paper cranes, never giving up hope. To this day, people in Hiroshima still fold origami cranes in her memory. For this character, let us imagine a parade in her honor, the entire road lined with folded cranes.

2) [chamcham] 20-1-2008(46): The BIG ONE hits Tokyo. You see a news report of the recently departed victims who died when the roads folded (from the earthquake).

3) [esaulgd] 14-9-2007(26): The departed are those who have crossed that fold you cannot see past in the road we all walk.

4) [adrianbarritt] 14-3-2008(23): In the film The Departed a guy falls out of the window and ends up folded double on the road below.

5) [Johnnyltn] 21-8-2006(16): Picture the funeral procession of a great head of state (i.e. JFK) a dearly departed loved one to a nation. See his coffin drapped with the folded American flag as it is moved through the roads and streets of our nation's Capitol.
