This is my entry for the Open Novella Contest. It's another psychological-thriller. The prompt that I used reads: Every time you feel like you've failed at something, a flower appears in your garden. You now have the most spectacular flower garden in your neighbourhood, yet all you want is grass.

Chiaroscuro Rossi has given up writing after years of failing to get his stories published and has settled on being an editor for a small, indie publishing house called VinBianco. After an economic crisis and lack of engagement hit VinBianco and force it to close in four weeks, Chiaroscuro takes it upon himself to join a writing contest and save their publishing house with the prize money. Desperate, he asks for the help of Ainsel Duine, an award-winning, weird recluse with a magical perspective on life. Can he finish a novel in 28 days? Can he win a national contest when he can't even finish his own stories? Can he stop himself for falling for the same person who was his greenlight to the writing world? Especially when someone else owns that person's heart?

Meet Sky and Blue.
