Entropy in Love and Other Errors: Absurdist Short Stories about Meaning, Glitches, and Goodbyes
🌀 What if falling in love triggered the end of the world?
🤡 What if a clown couldn’t laugh, but the audience never stopped?
🧠 What if your thoughts were being edited in real time—by someone else?
Welcome to a collection of darkly funny, strangely beautiful, and emotionally unsettling short stories that bend reality, break logic, and tap into the absurdity of being human. These stories don’t just entertain—they disturb, provoke, and linger.
Inside, you’ll meet:
• A boy who’s convinced he’s a badly written fictional character
• A Tinder date that quite literally causes the apocalypse
• A clown performing joy while crumbling inside
• AI programmers trapped inside a recursive love poem
• A chair that gives unsolicited fatherly wisdom—and might actually be your father
Why should you read it?
• Because you're tired of stories that pretend life makes sense
• Because you crave fiction that’s weird, witty, and wildly original
• Because reality already feels like a glitch—and this book gets it
• Because you want something that makes you laugh, ache, and question everything
• Because it feels like Borges and BoJack Horseman wrote a book together
• Because you want meaning, or at least the illusion of it
This isn’t escapism. It’s a mirror—cracked, playful, poetic.
So go ahead. Read it. Glitch with it.
Fall in love with the error.

About the author
Mason Carter
41 books24 followersMason Carter (born Mushahid Syed) is a poet, fiction writer, translator, and academic whose work explores themes of social justice, autonomy, and the communal spirit that binds people together. He studied English Literature at Shah Abdul Latif University and the International Islamic University, completing his master’s thesis on communes and utopias in literature.
Since 2017, Mason has been teaching English Language and Literature, and he currently serves as a lecturer at Shah Abdul Latif University. His approach to teaching reflects his deep belief in learning as a shared, ongoing dialogue—one that continues to shape his writing and thought.
A writer since 2010, Mason draws inspiration from literary figures such as Edgar Allan Poe, William Blake, Khalil Gibran, and Samuel Beckett. His writing blends lyricism, philosophical inquiry, and political imagination, often blurring the boundaries between art and reflection.
Outside the classroom and the page, Mason enjoys reading, watching films and series on Netflix, and organizing study circles with friends. Above all, he finds his greatest inspiration in fatherhood and in the quiet, curious companionship of his daughter, Elsa.
