CHTHONIC PRESS ISSUE #2

In Fishbowl, the reader is immersed in a surreal narrative landscape that defies conventional storytelling norms. This experimental literary work navigates the intricacies of human experience in the context of a world undergoing a profound transformation. Written in fragments and perspectives, this epistolary novella, or "poem" as the author dubs the text, unfolds through the lens of an adolescent protagonist whose observations reflect both innocence and a surprising depth of insight.

Within the narrative, a viral pandemic precipitates societal disintegration and a perceptual shift in its characters' reality. The prose, replete with its surreal and dreamlike quality, fosters a transcendent experience wherein the delineation between reality and hallucination dissolves.
The unnamed protagonist, accompanied by her unwavering friend Sarah, encounters cryptic entities, undergoes strange transformations, and grapples with existential questions amidst the chaos.

Readers are challenged to engage in an exegetical exercise, interpreting the symbolism and meaning woven into the text. This literary endeavor, while highly readable in its simplistic language, invites contemplation on the fluidity of consciousness, the fragility of human existence, and the enduring strength of optimism amid desolation.
