    I’m speechless. Few pieces of literature have painted a picture that vivid in my mind. It’s a fantastic story even though it’s so short. I think everyone should read this

    This book is so incredibly relevant to human psychology and society. Truly eye opening to your own mind and the world we live in. I totally recommend it for anyone looking for a good short story or the roots of the Omelas theory in Spring Day by BTS! I totally understand why RM would use it in their theories and story! Army for life~

    Such a deep & beautiful perspective something that can only be understood once you read this short novel. It’s hard to understand but surely it’s something that I found amazing to read
