Cursed Bunny by Bora Chung

5.0

"For some people their lives are ruled by one shocking event reverberating through their survival instincts. Life shrinks into a trap made of a shimmering moment in the past, a trap where they endlessly repeat that singular moment when they were surest of being alive. That moment is short, but long after it has passed, good times as well as bad slip like sand through their fingers as they are meaninglessly repeat and confirm survival. Those who are unaware of their lives slipping away while they are ensnared in the past---him, his grandfather, his mother, me--are in the end, whether alive or dead, ghosts of the past." Pg.250
