Dawn is not the warm, welcoming sunrise promised by motivational posters and overly positive people. This Dawn is the groggy, reluctant, existential punch-in-the-face that arrives whether you want it to or not, the moment when the darkness lifts just enough for you to see how absurd everything still is. This beautifully disillusioned short novel guides readers through the fragile edge between night and day, where meaning tries to bloom and reality reminds it to behave. With bleak humor, the story unravels the illusions we cling to and the truths we prefer to avoid, exposing how thin the line is between hope and delusion. Dawn is atmospheric, unsettling, unexpectedly tender in its brutality, and perfectly suited for anyone who's ever woken up and wondered why they're expected to function. A meditation on light, darkness, and everything embarrassingly human that happens between, it's a reminder that clarity doesn't always comfort, sometimes it just reveals the cracks.
