This is Lily by ZT Tosha

ZT Tosha has crafted Lily’s tale with philosophical themes, resonant of existentialist thought. Her struggle with her "inventedness" and her dependence on the creator’s gaze open a window into reflections on agency, identity, and mortality. Here, Lily’s voice is more than just a narrative—it’s a vessel for questions that linger at the edges of human understanding, connecting us to timeless concerns about reality and consciousness.

With poetic language and dreamlike prose, This is Lily reads like a vignette, capturing a single, intense moment of self-awareness. This is a story that unfolds in a suspended space between time and existence, using a character’s fragile consciousness as a lens to explore what it means to matter in an indifferent world.
