About this Novel

Amidst a dense, towering forest, light and darkness coexist in a striking contrast. The immense expanse of the forest is teeming with vibrant, colorful creatures, and the only sounds that break the silence are the melodious calls of various, brilliantly hued birds. My inner turmoil seems to infuse the forest with an aura of love, despite its daunting atmosphere. Some leaves hang heavy with moisture, bearing silent testimony to a lingering separation. One could easily label this forest as an eerie, forbidding place, seemingly unfit for human habitation. However, its eerie charm is undeniable, captivating the eyes of all who gaze upon it. Within this woodland reside numerous monkeys, while the presence of more sinister, wild creatures is merely rumored. Yet, on the opposite side of the forest, a peculiar sight unfolds. About ten trees, standing together as if in unity, are tall but appear as if they've been deliberately truncated.
