Book Description:

Have you ever wondered what is trapped in your photo album?
Memories?
Wistful Reminiscence?
Your Soul?

When our work-shy protagonist finally musters the energy to clean up her old trunk – partly spurred by the fears that her room will be the ground zero for the next pandemic or be mistaken for a waste disposal ground – she comes across her childhood photo album. Going through it, she is struck by an acute sense of longing and homesickness. But her trip down memory lane soon opens a can of worms that she did not bargain for.

This slice-of-life short story explores childhood nostalgia and the ever-changing family dynamics.
