|| SHORT STORY || Ethan lives his life behind a clipboard, hiding in the quiet, predictable safety of a university physiotherapy clinic to keep his introverted world completely undisturbed. Enter Leo: a chaotic, fiercely bright varsity rugby star who radiates pure sunshine and runs on pure energy. When a minor injury brings Leo into the clinic, Ethan's neatly organized equilibrium is instantly disrupted. But what starts as a routine recovery turns into a baffling medical mystery. Week after week, Leo keeps coming back with an absurd, cascading series of "injuries" from sudden wrist fatigue to phantom shoulder stiffness and he explicitly demands Ethan every single time. Is the elite athlete truly this accident-prone, or is there a completely different motive behind his frequent visits?

| teacher x student | wxw | slow burn | When 19-year-old Lena James enters English Literature class, she expects nothing special. Instead, she meets Ms. Sinclair her cold, sharp-tongued British literature teacher. Elegant, cutting, and unbearably superior. From the very first lesson, the 34-year-old woman seems to take pleasure in dismantling Lena's every opinion with cruel precision. Lena hates her. She hates the condescending red marks on her essays, the raised eyebrow that makes her feel small, and the way Ms. Sinclair lingers in her thoughts long after class ends. But hate this intense has a way of twisting into something far more dangerous. With a strict 15-year age gap and an unbreakable teacher-student boundary, their slow-burning tension threatens to break every rule both in literature and in real life. Some lessons aren't taught kindly. And some hatreds taste too much like desire. "Ms. Sinclair's Secret"
