Hey! You're the one who made me fail my chemistry test!
I promise this one will be shorter than the other, as I have little to work on (mostly because it has no base for me to compare and judge it with; a lot like contemporary poetry, at least according to my experience where I'm from, as everything and anything can go).
If you'd like to know my interpretation, I was under the impression it was about either a) self-harm, or b) an anime ninja girl trapped in the mountains (there are two types of people, and I am both of them). Initially I read the wooden panel as skin, the feeling of being trapped in a marionette, that sort of thing--the people who haven't returned being happiness. The second time is self-explanatory, there's an anime ninja girl counting the days before she gets rescued.
Overall, while I liked it, I think it's more of a conversation piece than a short story. I'll show it off to my friends, like the Dress meme, and ask them "What colour is this?" But there's nothing wrong with that. I like that you have enough creativity to wrap this around other people's heads, and it was vague enough to work. So yeah, good job, and keep up the good work.
