What happens when the world stops breathing?
Set between memory and the future, COVID Tales is a powerful collection of nine interconnected stories that explore the human cost of a global pandemic. Moving across hospitals, homes, cremation grounds, and silent city streets, each narrative captures a different voice-of those who survived, those who were forgotten, and those who chose humanity in a time of fear.
From a nurse who sacrifices her life for a child...
to a woman counting her breaths in isolation...
to a migrant worker walking hundreds of kilometers to return home...
These stories reveal the fragile boundaries between dignity and despair, duty and compromise, life and loss.
Blending realism with philosophical reflection and dystopian imagination, this novella does not merely revisit COVID-19-it questions what it means to remain human when systems collapse.
This is not just a book about a virus.
It is a book about us.
