Belly of The Giant Serpent: Prophecy

It's an unexpected trip, in a place called Norgris Town, where I spent the final days of winter. The Daltons, who had three children, graciously took me in. However, it was the peculiar pre-dinner prayer that stirred my curiosity. After expressing gratitude for trees, crops, and all animals, people would conclude it with one final line - 

"The world lies within the belly of a giant serpent."

Belly of The Giant Serpent: Prophecy is a work concealed beneath the masks of fiction and the supernatural, which metaphorically depicts the author's life during the 2019-nCoV pandemic, along with the silent accusations that accompanied it. The town the protagonist accidentally steps in is a metaphor of China under the strict lockdown conditions. Through the science-fiction-like short story and generative images operated by AI, the author tries to express the unspeakable but unforgettable personal experience and collective trauma.
