Zara journals her dreams. It's her thing. They're vivid, strange, sometimes beautiful-always private. Until one morning, a name she doesn't remember writing appears on the page. Azriel. No context. No memory. Just ink and unease. Then she sees him. A man in black, too still and too perfect, sitting in the shadows of her room. He says he's Death. He says she called him. Zara's not the kind of girl who believes in curses or grim reapers with cheekbones sharp enough to cut glass. She just wants him out of her apartment-and her life. But Azriel is unraveling. And no matter how hard she pushes him away, their fates keep pulling closer.

Demons don't unravel your soul all at once, they tempt you through the process in carefully curated steps, each one more seductive, more dangerous, and more impossible to untangle than the last. When a perceptive stranger begins showing up at her favorite café, Nadia isn't easily charmed. But, Azrael watches too closely, and seems to understand her so well that Nadia questions whether her thoughts are even her own. Nadia is resistant, though. She doesn't follow the script. She pushes back in ways Azrael has never seen. And now, Azrael is starting to wonder: Is it his system that's failing... or is it him? This story is my entry in the 2025 Open Novella Contest!
