Geez. Great horror story, yet again. So many elements of horror get introduced, and yet somehow they manage to fit into the story reasonably well (the ogre, Ucchi's decay, the mother). Yes, it uses the "it was a dream" explanation, but at least the dream has a cause in the plot, and becomes a part of the horror itself. This story somehow managed to both do the bittersweet "monster was just a victim" thing and the "horror goes completely unexplained" thing, and I find it all pretty convincingly done.
