Existence is Futile

Existence is Futile is a collection of four short stories focusing on difficult adulthood moments from different characters' lives.
In the family drama "Future and Happiness," Jeremy is a young adult sinking under the weight of debt and depression. The value of his grandma's ring might be a solution, but there's potentially a hidden cost.
"Four AM" is a slice-of-life micro-story showing a moment when someone wakes up too early. The tone resembles the Japanese concept of "Ma," which refers to intentional emptiness or negative space.
The slice-of-life drama "Icarus" gives readers a glimpse into someone's internal narrative as they watch their peer fly while they flounder.
"She Was Done, He Wouldn't Leave" is a psychological drama about Sù Lì, who thought the nightmare was over when her husband died in an accident. But the post-traumatic stress still haunts her, asking how she can survive without him.
