About this ebook
For ten years, the regime has measured its reign in rituals, ruins, and rigid uniforms: blue, green, pale yellow. Survival depends not on freedom, but on the choices made in the stark silence of locked rooms. It is a narrative that lives in the gap between the word and its echo, the rule and its grotesque enforcement, the self you are and the self you must become.
Moving restlessly between clarity and chaos, instruction and nightmare, this mirrored labyrinth explores memory that clings like a ghost, and the terrifying courage it takes to forget—just to live another hour, another day.
Step into an ornate cage where selections are silent, monsters wear familiar faces, and the only way out is through a reflection you no longer recognize.
Daily Practice is a genre-defying work of literary fiction—part dystopian allegory, part linguistic experiment—for readers of unsettling, thought-provoking, and unforgettable prose.
