Saline Strings

Changing tides, the screams of seagulls in the morning, the monotony of life, visions of death; those were Favian's favorite things to include in his poems. As the ocean sang its songs, he tried to capture them into words; alone in his room, with tangling thoughts and an empty stare.

When he meets Alpine, he finds out what alexithymia is, and how much it complicates literally everything. Suddenly, instead of listening to the ocean, he starts listening to his heart. And, much like his attempts in understanding the waves, he can't decipher anything. Other than the fact that he doesn't want it to end.

Or a story about two teenage boys in love, exploring their true selves, finding their paths and figuring out what it takes to change and heal.

Or an edgy teenager trying to cope with stuff, and another teenager helps.
