Comprising a collection of short stories that mirror each other, this book delves into the essence of the small things that make us human. How do we perceive one another, if we do so at all, and what does it truly take to understand the perspectives of others? What are the roots, relationships, or individuals that we cling to for sustenance? And how do we behave when there is nothing left to cling to?So, take a moment to enjoy gazing into the very mirror that's placed right in front of you. But be warned, it's no fun.
