In Aimee Bender's "The Color Master: Stories," a unique perspective is presented through the thoughts of a cake. The cake reflects on its existence, contemplating the idea of immortality and the nature of life. Its internal monologue simplifies profound concepts into a language more fitting for its being, highlighting the whimsical nature of the story. This approach invites readers to consider the fragile yet significant experience of existence. The cake's assertion that it will "never die" serves as a metaphor for permanence and the desire to be remembered. Through this anthropomorphism, Bender explores deeper themes of identity, permanence, and the ways in which different beings understand their place in the world. The narrative invites readers to find meaning in the seemingly mundane, encouraging a thoughtful reflection on life, creativity, and the intersection of the human and the inanimate.
