From the womb

A collection of short stories under the guise of motherly love.

What connects six boys who are now grown men? She. The one who brought them into this world. The one who raised them. The one who defined them. Their mother. Is it possible for a mother to drive her son to madness? Is it possible that her repressed, her expectations, the oppression she suffers, her submissive nature, her way of survival exceed the unyielding love towards her son? Can a mother become her child's bondholder? Can she deprive him of his freedom? Will her son ever be able to break her invisible bonds?

"With her words she used up all the cruelty she had left, though he himself felt lucky, because she could have given him a comeback like when the customers complained about him staring at them while they waited in the reception area"

"He didn't know what hit him. He just wanted to make sure she loved him. He wanted to hear her tell him. He had a premonition that something was wrong."

“However, she would not surrender her weapons so quickly. She would do anything to save her child. Every day, it blew his mind.”

"Her words haunted him even now that he was an adult. He sometimes felt like he was being watched, even though he was dead.”

A collection of short stories which reveal that a mother's love may not always be so selfless.
