内容简介
我以前上学途中总要经过一家肉店，每天都会看到挂在钩子上的剥了皮的山羊，除了抽搐的羊尾巴，其他部位都是肉和脂肪。
我想，山羊一定有过跟我差不多的生活。也许，在山羊生命的终点，它是被绳子牵着来到屠宰场的。也许，屠宰场里传出来的血腥味，让山羊知道自己正被带往何方。
但是，那个时候，转至新学校的我，正穿着干净的校服，肩上挎着书包，口袋里还有一支崭新的铅笔呢。那个时候，我不再有那种与山羊同病相怜的感觉。

Content introduction
I used to pass a butcher's shop on my way to school, and every day I would see a skinned goat hanging from a hook, all flesh and fat except for the twitching tail.
The goat must have had a life similar to mine, I thought. Perhaps, at the end of the goat's life, it is led by ropes to the slaughterhouse. Perhaps the smell of blood from the slaughterhouse tells the goats where they are being led.
But at that time, when I transferred to my new school, I was wearing a clean uniform, a bag slung over my shoulder, and a brand new pencil in my pocket. At that time, I no longer had that feeling of being with the goat.

From the injustice and struggle of a train station arson, the questions and choices of three souls - the future, or conscience?
