Before I Burn Out - June Wang

Before I Burn Out is a collection of imaginative and symbolic short stories that explore the absurd beauty of life and the depth of human emotions. Through surreal narratives and vivid metaphors, these tales delve into inner struggles, existential questions, and the fragility of the human condition.

Each story presents a unique and thought-provoking perspective: a girl who hides her anger behind a constant smile; a boy fighting the monster within his body; citizens of the Kingdom of Chains yearning for freedom but bound by choice; and a radiant girl painstakingly piecing together her shattered glass heart. The stories balance between reality and the surreal, offering allegorical narratives that resonate with universal human experiences.

Perfect for readers who:

• Appreciate deep explorations of human emotions and psychological themes.
• Enjoy allegorical storytelling and symbolic fiction.
• Are drawn to works that blend the fantastical with reality in thought-provoking ways.
