Birthing: A Collection of Short Stories

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.
