About
What if survival no longer looks heroic?
What if it looks like answering "I'm fine" while quietly falling apart inside?
Survive Like a Cockroach is a psychological fiction collection exploring the hidden emotional struggles of ordinary modern life. Through interconnected stories of office workers, lonely strangers, exhausted families, sleepless minds, retired employees, and emotionally isolated individuals, the book reveals how people slowly adapt to pressure, loneliness, anxiety, silence, and invisible emotional damage.
These stories are grounded, intimate, and painfully human. A man survives on supermarket food samples after losing his job. A retired employee pretends to stay busy because stillness feels unbearable. Strangers find comfort in distant apartment lights during sleepless nights. People continue functioning normally while something inside them quietly changes.
Written in a simple yet emotionally powerful style, the book focuses on the small survival behaviors most people ignore because they appear ordinary. But underneath those routines, entire emotional worlds are slowly reshaping themselves.
Survive Like a Cockroach is not about dramatic breakdowns. It is about adaptation. About invisible survival. About human beings continuing through modern life, even after it has already changed them from the inside.
