The Anyway (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is the kind of morning when you wake up, and it looks like seven pm in the evening, when you come home and walk into the room without turning the lights on. This is that kind of morning. Sunlight is held back from entering the window. Dull particles infected the usual energetic morning air. I saw my fingers faintly, blurry. I saw my surroundings with feathered edges, covered by deepened hues of light, or of shadows.I saw my duvet shaped vaguely by my body. The rustling of my pillow and bedd
The Absence and The Presence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Where is the absence? I’ve noticed the absence of the cicadas and Spidey (a spider we nicknamed that had shown up every night at the same corner on the glass door to build its web of the night) ever since I returned home from my trip. The summer came to an end. The familiar morning humming and evening weaving also concluded with the season’s transition.

The Consumption (opens the original)

The Gnawing (opens the original)

This gnawing thought, association, people, names, wondering, and guessing keep coming back, seeking resolution.

The gnawing feeling of being trapped is why the gnawing persists. I don’t want to feel the gnawing discomfort pulling me away and distracting me from the life in front of me. I don’t want
The Change (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Summer is coming to an end soon. The air started cooling down. The angle of the sunrise and sunset is slanting, tilting off the edge of the earth. Its golden rays are shifting to an even warmer tone, with hints of persimmon. People are putting on layers, long sleeves, lightweight jackets, and sweatshirts. Textiles that bear more substance than the summer breathable shells. The transition taking place around us has an origin we cannot trace. The transition may have started on a sunny morning, whe
