A compilation of twelve unique tales unfolds within these pages. The first narrative, “Bad Candy You Give Me,” explores the bittersweet bond between two girls through shared sweets. “Swimming Flowers” follows an urban girl grappling with alienation in a coastal village. In “Survival of the Fittest,” a young woman secretly nourishes her transformed friend who now resembles a fish. “A Tender Casket” presents the eerie reality of a resurrected childhood companion residing in one’s bedroom.

The fifth story, “Mother and Sister,” delves into identity crises and sibling dynamics following maternal loss. “Sets in the West” begins with a startling discovery—a doppelgänger appearing upon waking. “Much as I Love You” contrasts two distinct personalities—one charming, the other endearing. “Tidal Force” questions reality when a character witnesses the moon’s apparent collision.

“Goodbye” starts mysteriously with a penciled rectangle on a school desk. “Where Demons Dwell” weaves horror as mutilated fish emerge alongside rumors of missing girls. “Leaving Home” captures the emotional departure from one’s roots. The final tale, “Spring Pupa,” evokes nostalgia as peach blossom aromas trigger recollections of teenage years. Each story blends ordinary moments with surreal twists, creating an unforgettable anthology.
