If You Were a Dinosaur, My Love

This short story penned by Rachel Swirsky narrates a woman’s bitter-sweet musings of her fiance who lies in coma due to a brutal assault. She imagines him as a dinosaur, a conceit reflecting her deep love and grief. The story metaphorically explores hope, despair, and the cruelty of fate. In the woman’s imagination, her engagement to a T-Rex is vivid and vibrant, a stark contrast to the harsh reality she faces.
