"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it" -Confucius
In a dimly lit bar tucked away in the heart of the city, Samuel, a reclusive artist burdened by a profound sense of loneliness, seeks solace in the familiar rhythm of his nightly visits. Content in his introversion, he finds comfort in his solitude, avoiding interactions with the patrons who surround him. However, everything changes when Ember, a vibrant and free-spirited woman, approaches him one fateful evening, igniting a spark within him that he never anticipated. As their conversation flows effortlessly, Sam is swept away by an overwhelming rush of emotions, quickly falling head over heels in love with her. But what begins as infatuation spirals into obsession. Sam finds himself fixated on Ember, channeling his feelings into countless paintings that capture her essence, each stroke a testament to his growing fixation. As his admiration deepens, he crosses the line from admiration into the realm of stalking, following her every move and losing himself in a fantasy that blurs the line between love and possession. The story delves into the complexities of love, mental health, and the fine line between passion and obsession, as Sam grapples with the consequences of his actions in a desperate quest for connection.

"Uhm.. Sir? Can I help you?" I mumble while staring at him.
He breaks out into a huge grin, the kind of grin you see on little kids when they get their favorite toy.
He reaches out to me, and I start to fall backwards trying to move away. He latches onto my elbow, pulling me into his chest. He inhales deeply, mumbling something I can't hear. Before everything goes black.
"This is turning into a good night after all.."
