Abstract of the book "The Burden of Pleasure"

"FIRST PRIZE FOR BEST BOOK OF SHORT STORIES 2024 ABC" A woman embarks on a journey to explore the limits of pleasure, chasing sensations that promise to free her from routine, memory, and pain. What begins as curiosity soon turns into compulsion, as each encounter pulls her further into a world where desire becomes both escape and prison. The path she follows is anything but straight—marked by obsession, loss, and the quiet erosion of self. She learns that pleasure, when pursued blindly, leaves a trail of consequences: fractured relationships, blurred identities, and wounds that don't always show on the skin. In the end, she is forced to ask herself whether the pursuit was worth what it cost—and if she can ever find her way back.
