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.
