Overview: In Challenges of Living Among Humans, survival isn’t just about staying alive—it’s about navigating love, survival, and belonging in a world that often presents conflict. This bold collection of four short stories delves deep into the raw, sometimes uncomfortable truths of what it means to be human—and not.
In “Grey Cat: the Unwelcome,” a resilient stray named Grey claws for sustenance and his life in the hostile town of Kurleigh, where superstition runs deep and only pure black cats are tolerated. A sharp, symbolic tale of otherness, exclusion, and defiant perseverance.
“Playing Chicken” exposes the quiet agony of Abe and Julia as they grapple with infertility after a fertility clinic appointment. When hope falters, their fragile relationship is tested—can love prevail when biology doesn’t cooperate?
“An ICE-y Day” follows Jimmy on the brink of leaving his girlfriend Esmé—until ICE agents show up with accusations that force him to choose between self-preservation and standing up for someone he is prepared to break ties with.
In “Patient Retaliation,” a mysterious man corners a petty thief inside an abandoned building. But the confrontation isn’t about theft—it’s about justice, secrets, and a sentimental gift stolen from the man’s boss.
Each story in Challenges of Living Among Humans offers a gripping look at the choices we make under pressure—sometimes desperate, sometimes noble, always deeply human.
