Hello to My Lovely Writer, Readers, and Fellow Cold Survivors,
The good news? My cold has taken a turn for the better! Itโs amazing what a day of indulgence can doโโโthink sliced lemons with honey, a satisfying tuna salad, and, naturally, more cake than anyone should probably admit to eating. Add your delightful stories and a binge-watch of Beauties and Uglies on Netflix, and this cozy little sick day has been surprisingly bearable.
Now, onto some exciting news: our profile has hit 4.5K wonderful followers, and our publication has 0.46K supportersโโโthank you all for being part of this journey. Weโve got plenty of cozy winter fun ahead, with our upcoming Winter Contest. Consider this your official invitation to join us!
And if youโd rather not be tagged in future updates, just give us a wave, and weโll take note. For now, settle in and enjoy this little story from my soon-to-be-released Book of Love and Gossip, originally published in Romanian in December 2021.

The She-Wolf
In the living room mirror, a she-wolf gnaws on a cinnamon stick. Sheโs not exactly tall, but at least she reaches the level of knowledge accepted in her world and up to the belly of the jackal-headed god.
Which god do you mean? The one who fills her with life once a month and then, horrified by life, by ephemerality, puts her exactly in that position where any pregnancy splits in two, willingly, as if to multiply love, to make twins, triplets, quadruplets, to create cancer; yet, he continues to strike mercilessly until their eyes blend in his Horus omelet, and their frozen, intertwined reflections shatter into thousands of crystalsโโโjust like the borderline identities emerging from their post-coital dreams, from our shared dream.
Thatโs me, as for my boyfriend, I donโt know what else to write because I havenโt seen him in a while, he doesnโt have time, heโs busy with his business of selling hot water pumps, with his sales. Donโt ask me what those stains are, because I donโt know, and I donโt care. He calls me when he misses her, asks for snapshots with the little one, as if she were a dog and could understand something of his joy, of our mortification. Of course, she doesnโt understand, so I intoxicate her. I give her white chocolate, melted in wine.
The other day, I was with four Japanese women whom I wouldnโt want to describe to you,
neither front nor back. The first pulled my nose and kept complimenting me, she almost gave birth through me. The second one treated me with disdain. The third one, no.
The fourth, yes. Then we talked about love, about money, about music, and only at the end, about art. In short, I felt kind of bad between a misandrist and a misogynist. When I confessed to them what I truly am, they spat on me, thenโฆ they kissed meโโโthey embraced me as if I were a chromosomal aberration.
Classical music and visual arts are the emblems of sophistication, I told myself. But letโs not forget the women who indulge in them, with a portion of littles with pesto. This adds refinement!
Recommendation: Go to Anubis. Buy wine. Boil it and drink it with white chocolate. After a few drinks, youโll understand. The next day, she will return, forgetfulnessโฆ Take three in one. It is worth it.
