Synopsis
Born from a word out of nothing, the creature must eat one of its own to survive. This word which the creature has managed to pronounce brings him friends, enemies, and new prey, although it’s difficult to maintain the balance.
Editorial
A spark of language ignites both connection and destruction in this brutal fable of survival. Crafting a haunting allegory in which a creature’s first word unleashes a spiral of violence, kinship, and rebirth, Gökalp Gönen charts a cycle that is as primal, mythic, and unsettling as creation itself.
