    I came here because I needed help. They said it was temporary. They said I could leave whenever I wanted. They were calm. They were kind. They never forced anything. Everyone says this place is good for people like me. Everyone says I'm doing better. Everyone says I'm safe here. And the worst part is- I think they might be right.

    After a moment of careless certainty, a young man wakes to a life that insists he has always known how to be seen. No one is cruel. No one is forcing him. Everyone is simply helping. As love, work, and routine quietly reorganize around appearance and approval, he learns how easily care can become control and how smoothly resistance can disappear. Fit for Display is a psychological horror novella about optics, expectation, and the quiet systems that decide who must be prepared and who is allowed to arrive unburdened.

    'She's...unorthodox, yes.' Antonio sighed. 'But she'll do you well. She'll understand you.' Cherry pulled away. What was he talking about? Trisha and herself were nothing alike at all. 'How?' Cherry queried. Antonio was a deer in headlights. He'd let that slip without realising. Before he could take his words back, he took Cherry's hands and breathed. 'She sees the man too,' he admitted. 1st in #FamilyMatters: 10/01/26 14th in #Anxiety: 18/01/26 1st in #Cherry
