︎ About the story: Gift Box is an animal allegory born from my pessimistic thoughts. The story begins with a distress letter written by a pig on a farm, narrating the tragic tale of the pigs. The story often employs metaphors and analogies, drawing connections between the pigs’ lives and real-life human experiences, and the intersecting stories of these humans and these pigs express my conflicted feelings about the cost of living the good life.
