In Gregor Samsa’s skin
Imagine waking up one morning and realizing your body looks different. Strange. You feel strange. You even speak strangely. Suddenly, it seems like no one understands you anymore. People around you stare at you so peculiarly that they themselves start to appear just as strange. Things that seemed normal just yesterday now look distorted, disjointed—perhaps even grotesque. Could it be that things have always been this way and you’ve only just noticed? Or did something truly strange happen overnight? And how do you deal with it? How can you navigate this new reality, and who could you share it with? Your mother? Your father? Your sister? After all, you’ve become quite the peculiar bug!
