“If I could make one wish
I want to be just a little bit happier
If I’m too happy
I will miss the sadness”
“You birthed me even when I didn’t want it, and did you not try at every turn to destroy me out of hatred and disgust? What have you given me besides your feces trash? I had to bear all sorts of humiliations and degradations to get what I needed from you to complete a human-like body.”
“I could finally understand the horrific and cruel clarity of what he considered to be meaningful. The desperation and immense fear that your life, as well as the future to come, hinged on a moment. I could also understand how, in a situation where there was a single person who could kill you but also save you, all your survival instincts would be used toward satisfying that one person.”

I really enjoyed the reflection of life, almost cautionary tales yet not so at the same time. They were all crafted well and were haunting to say the least! Very glad I read it. If you like immersive writing and weird fiction, definitely give this a read.
