The Showers - by Lilith Maryam (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The Pipes Rumbled As Water Passed Through Them, Shaking The Whole House.

They never cared how their words and actions would affect any of us. They didn't and don't put themselves in anyone else's shoes; only ever caring for themselves. It's evil how willing they are to hate.

They dehumanize; they derogatize, disparage to ostracise, and make people nothing more than an insult, make people just merely a slur. Stripping humanity from their perceptions of other humans, carving off care, othering to the point of no longer seeing fellow humans as humans, just kindling for the fire.

To them we were never human, just supposed to be miniature versions of them, and when we weren't, we were supposed to be cattle for the slaughter. Anything to feed the machine, anything to keep the factory spewing out smoke, even if the world died to keep it's heart pumping.

I Knew I Heard The Sound Of The Showers. The Shower Man Beacons, Just Like He Did All That Time Ago.
