"Better luck next time..." The words echo, a chilling specter in the labyrinth of their mind. The phrase "better luck next time, Lallu" is a relentless torment, gnawing insidiously at the fabric of their sanity. It's a maddening dance on the precipice of their own mind, teetering dangerously close to the edge of insanity. Whose voice was that? Why does its ghostly refrain drain them so profoundly? Each echo is a cruel torment, a puzzle piece that refuses to fit, yet insists on its place in the jigsaw of their psyche. (this is going to be VERY triggering so please do NOT read if you get triggered easily) (LALLU) Lallu, seemingly ordinary, stands at the precipice of overwhelming choices. Each decision echoes with the promise of life-altering change. It's a high-stakes dance on the edge of sanity, where every step could redefine their destiny. This isn't just a journey; it's a captivating dive into the labyrinth of the unseen shadows. (LAGO) Lago, a seemingly unremarkable person, lurks in the shadows of his own machinations. Each step he takes is a calculated move in a high-stakes game of manipulation. His obsession is not just a fuel, but the very core of his existence. He dances with danger, his words a siren's song, luring the unsuspecting into his web. His feigned kindness is a convincing facade. But beneath the charm lies a mind in constant turmoil, an obsession that consumes him. Always scheming, always watching, waiting for the perfect moment to strike - he is a relentless pursuit fueled by an insatiable desire. (BENJAMIN) Benjamin, a beacon of kindness and positivity, finds himself often on the outskirts of the crowd. His extroverted charm and friendly demeanor are a stark contrast to the solitude he often faces. Behind closed doors, his mind becomes a whirlwind of overthinking and negativity, a silent battle only he knows. This isn't merely an existence; it's an intricate dance on the tightrope of his own paradoxical nature.

*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."
