Threads of Childhood reimagines folklore through quiet rebellions and unspoken debts. These short stories are formed by the collision between the myth and harsh realities; they contain tales of broken relationships, the inheritance of burdens, the subversive acts looming over the breakdown of families, communities, yet cling to the fragile stories we tell ourselves to survive.

What Defines This Book:

Mythic undertones: familial secrets and generational silences rekindle the archetypal struggles between betrayal, sacrifice, and inheritance.
Daily drama: the characters come across isolation, old age, and judgment, in which small choices unravel into irreversible consequences.
Parent-child relationships: the gulf between care and control, love and obligation, in a world demanding loyalty without understanding.

Readers Who Want:

Short stories focus on people, not fast-paced action.
Language-based narratives over plot-heavy stories.
