LILITH
DescriptionIn the Oxford School Dictionary, 'Justice' is defined as 'being just; fair treatment'
Bullshit.
In my dictionary, Justice is not about giving that terrorist the deat sentence.
In my dictionary, Justice is not about jailing that rapist .
In my dictionarty, Justice is not about punishing the boy who bullied the girl .
In my dictionary, Justice is about fighting for yourself: Just yourself .
In my world, Lady Justice doesnt do her job, I do her job.
If I am born as a deer, I will hunt and kill tigers.
If I am born into a poor family, I will rob the wealthy of their riches.
If I am born without legs, I will breal everyone's legs.
If I am born hearing impaired, I will slice off everyone's ears .
That is Justice
My name is Lilith Ng and I am HIV-positive .

Review
Unlike Low Kay Hwa's other novels , this disturbing novels will send chills up reader's spines psychologically. His seventh novel is a dark story about a woman who is addicted to seducing men in order to spread HIV . Be prepared to dive in the darkest realm of human nature with this novel .
