Living In Chaos
Facing up to cancer at any time in life can be devastating and depressive but for young victims of the disease, it can be particularly challenging, especially when overcoming a stutter on top of it. Both situations leave young people full of doubt about the future and feeling they are the only ones who are struggling.
‘Living in Chaos’ by Sabrina de Angeles is a collection of short stories aimed to inspire people who have gone through challenging situations, especially in these recent times of COVID. Those who have potentially lost hope through personal trauma, to make them realise that no matter what you go through in life there is always light at the other end of the tunnel.
As both a cancer and stuttering survivor herself, this young lady tackles social issues and climate change amid the various character scenarios in this collection as well as surviving tough medical conditions.
Life is a journey– that is the main message in her book. ‘True Empathy’ is the secret ingredient to living life.
Dystopian Short Stories
A captivating collection of dystopian, survival short stories that take you on a wild adventure to the depths of the earth. I mean, what would you do if everything you’ve ever wanted suddenly went up in flames?
“I opened my eyes slowly and began observing my surroundings. I felt dazed and confused. The last thing I remember, I was getting my first fishing lesson with Oscar and soon after a storm hit. Beyond that I don’t remember anything else. It was like a blank memory. I started to smell bleach from the corridor and then heard the sound of a heart monitor. Mine. I soon realised I was in hospital, in the ICU department. I am not sure how I got here or who found me. Was it Oscar? Did we survive the storm?
“As I began to torment myself with all these questions, a blurry image transcended through my mind… I remember now, Oscar hit his head against the rock, and swiftly fell facing down on the rear end of the boat, losing consciousness. Oh my God, no!!! Is he ok? Is he alive?”
Fear and trepidation looms in the dark as each character embarks on a perilous journey in search of hope and a way out of their suffering.
