Metamorphosis

by Franz Kafka

he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug.

No matter how hard he threw himself onto his right side, he always rolled again onto his back.

Lol

I have to deal with the problems of traveling, the worries about train connections, irregular bad food, temporary and constantly changing human relationships which never come from the heart. To hell with it all!’

sibilants,

They were cleaning out his room, taking away from him everything he cherished;

‘Yes, I have expected that,’ said his father, ‘I always told you that, but you women don’t want to listen.’
