Life has taught me that I can't trust anyone. Not friends, not family. In the worst, darkest moments, no one can be counted on to have your back. Even a billion miles away from Earth, on a remote icy planet, I still feel alone. The only consolation? I haven't resonated. It's not that I don't want love or children. I just can't trust anyone, even myself. 
 
 
 
But then one day, my khui resonates, and it's to the last guy I ever expected. In fact, I resonate so hard that my chest is singing its mating song before his does. That never happens. 
 
 
 
So what does a calm, rational, grown woman do when life turns upside down? She runs for the hills, of course. 
 
 
 
I should have known he'd follow me. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

"Tono-Bungay" by H.G. Wells is a satirical novel blending social critique with personal ambition. The story follows George Ponderevo, a young man who rises from obscurity by promoting Tono-Bungay, a fraudulent health tonic. Through his journey, Wells explores themes of capitalism, consumerism, and the moral compromises of modern society. The novel delves into the disparity between wealth and poverty, the fleeting nature of success, and the pursuit of meaning in an industrialized world. Part autobiographical, it reflects Wells’s own struggles and observations of Edwardian England. A blend of humor, philosophy, and sharp commentary, this work critiques the illusions of progress while capturing the complexities of human aspiration and societal change.
