A mysterious boy who never takes off his jacket. A temple where men talk directly to angels. An extremely boring college economics course.
Curiosity gives way to confusion as our nameless, genderless narrator learns the reason behind their classmate's hunched posture and reluctance to remove his coat. In a world where the truth seems divinely ordained, sometimes changing the mind is an even greater task than changing the body.
This 5,900-word short story occupies a queer, dreamlike space between fantasy and reality.

For the past four years, Alexander has walked the halls of Unus Academy-a school of supernaturals, gods, and monsters alike. The rules are simple: conceal your identity, control your power, and never let your true nature show. Alexander expected isolation, but instead found something unexpected: real friendship. His tight-knit circle became a lifeline, something he never imagined he'd be lucky enough to have. Escaping the shadows of his past should've been enough... but some truths don't stay buried. His secret is darker than most. And while his friends might seem loyal now, he knows what could happen when they learn what he really is. He's seen it before. No one's ever gotten close. Not until Mark. Mark is everything Alexander never expected: popular, confident, disarmingly kind. And for some reason, he's determined to become his best friend. With each shared secret and lingering glance, the walls Alexander spent years perfecting begin to crack. But some instincts don't die quietly. Which version of himself would he become? If he wants to hold on to this new life, Alexander must become someone else. Fate has other plans.

A Different Kind of Love
Max was very different -- but in a unique way. That much Justin could figure out. He just couldn't figure out what was different about her. There was something about her that drew him closer and he just had to figure that out. But what happened when he found out? Did he discover he was way in over his head? Max tried to stay to himself for the most part. He hated the idea of someone calling him a girl to his face. Just the mere thought sent him in a spiral -- he wanted to take the thing out of his pocket to make him focus on something else. But he didn't. Often. Especially since he noticed the kind-eyed kid in the front of his class noticing him more and more. He didn't know what the boy wanted -- he didn't think it could be good. But what happened when he decided to trust him? Would he regret it? *Rated mature because of the topic -- there will also be self-harm and cussing and other things like that.
