A world where taking a bite from another’s plate is a crime; a woman pregnant with a creature that can only be called demonic; a debt settled with a husband’s ear; a world where men are infertile and children are sown into mud and harvested like plants; a man who hires a contract killer to end his own life; a man who gives his mother to the man whose mother he killed as compensation; a mother who employs a hitman as a babysitter; a man who wakes up to discover that eggs do not exist; a market where IQs are bought and sold; a dystopia where words cost more than life.
Birthing is a collection of short stories rooted in absurdity, moral collapse, and quiet horror. These stories examine inner conflict, social cruelty, and the human need to belong—within systems that neither care nor explain themselves.

As I walked down the cobbled street, I didn’t realise when muscle memory took charge, and I stopped before a dying hibiscus. The sanguine strands of each of the five asymmetric petals yearned to show through their unique individuality, how perfect their imperfections are; its pistil was still intact, and the pollen strands were still capable of producing an offspring- I chuckled: lifeless as it may be, I thought, it could still give life. I was running late
for a meeting, so I had to rush, but right before I left, I noticed that the step I was about to take, would have obstructed the path, which had been idealistically been appointed by the ants to reach their little hill, crushing seven of them in the process; naturally, I forced myself to turn to a
longer stride…
I hadn’t yet expected that muscle memory, from that day, would evolve to create art.
