"Whereas, in truth, death is the inherent right of all humankind..."
And so, the students enter the ceremony field. However, they forget that cats have nine lives, the student council lost their head, and the president says no.

This is the cover of one of my short stories, "Presiden Bilang: Tidak", from the 2021 Delicaton short story anthology project. I wrote this right before my "Siang" story, making it a transitional piece between my pre-2021 and post-2021 storytelling styles—blending action-shonen, superhero elements like The Boys, and the existentialism of The Truman Show

I designed it to resemble a movie poster because, in 2021, I was deep into studying screenplay writing and learning from films to improve my storytelling. This cover is a little homage to that phase lol
