The Metamorphosis

by Franz Kafka

Gregor Samsa, a hardworking traveling salesman, wakes up one morning to find himself inexplicably transformed into a "monstrous vermin". As he struggles to adapt to his new, segmented body and multiple twitching legs, the story shifts from his physical shock to the devastating emotional and social consequences of his change. Confined to his bedroom, Gregor becomes a burden to his family, who initially feel pity but quickly succumb to resentment, disgust, and financial panic. Kafka’s masterpiece is a profound exploration of isolation, the absurdity of the human condition, and the fragile nature of family loyalty. Readers will find a haunting, surreal narrative that questions what truly makes us human and how quickly we are discarded when we can no longer contribute to society. It is a dark, essential classic that remains one of the most influential works of the 20th century.

The Grief Frequency

by San Joes

The Grief Frequency is a reflective poem that explores how grief becomes a constant presence in a person’s life after loss. The poet presents grief not as a single moment of sorrow, but as an ongoing “frequency” that the heart and mind are permanently tuned into. Even during ordinary moments, memories and emotions resurface unexpectedly, showing how loss quietly shapes thoughts, feelings, and identity. The poem suggests that grief changes over time—it may soften, but it never fully disappears. Through a calm yet haunting tone, the poet conveys that learning to live with grief is not about forgetting the pain, but about accepting its presence as part of being human.
