@ShortStory "You’re opposites! She’s beautiful but the campus gangster."
          	  
          	  ​"I know," he sighed. "I’m just a happy secret admirer. But her eyes, hair, lips..."
          	  
          	  ​"What about my lips?" a voice froze them.
          	  
          	  ​Turning, they stood on trembling legs. Yet, a sad, innocent girl stood with a bowed head. "Why don't you say that in front of my face?" she whimpered.
          	  
          	  ​His friend pinched him forward. Blinking back to reality, he grabbed her hand with shaking fingers; his sheer terror made her smile through tears. Laughing helplessly, he pulled her close, and she completely surrendered.

"Sentenced after asylum treatment," the verdict shattered his world.
          	  
          	  Inside his cell, Raghav wept, whispering at his inner demons, "I'm not insane! You forced me to slaughter my family!"
          	  
          	  Suddenly, for the first time, a whisper answered inside his skull: "Why don't you say that in front of my face?"
          	  
          	  ​He gasped; though trapped in his head, he was sure that terrifying voice belonged to someone else.
          	  
          	  ​A dark, misty horror seeped from his flesh, swirling into the doctor's body.
          	  
          	  ​Turning from his tray, the doctor grinned wickedly. "Your chapter is done, Raghav. Now, let's taste your sister's school kids."

Alafroiskioti_006@ShortStory “Why don’t you say that in front of my face?”
          
          Marcus slammed the phone onto the kitchen table. His daughter stared at him from the doorway, clutching her backpack. “Dad?” He forced a smile. “Nothing, sweetheart.” She left for school, and the silence settled again. The anonymous messages had arrived every night for weeks: coward, liar, murderer. Always from a blocked number. Marcus opened the latest voicemail. A child’s voice whispered, “You know what you did.” His hands shook. He rewound it, louder this time. The voice was unmistakable. His daughter had never gone to school this morning. She had been standing there the whole time, recording him carefully.

            "That guy at the bar keeps staring at you" my cousin whispered. "Do you know him?"
            
            Do I know him? 
            
            the stable boy who filled my days with stolen glances and secret letters. When my family discovered us , they cast him out without mercy.
            
            I entrusted him to my best friend Lily to help him
            
            She did.
            
            She married him yesterday.
            
            Now, he sat beneath crystal chandeliers, the richest man in the empire. Fortune found him 
            
            I raised my glass in silent congratulation.
            
            For a moment, he raised his own .
            
            Some first love stories become forever.
            
            Ours became  a toast

“That guy at the bar keeps staring at you.”
            
            My friend commented, glancing back and forth between me and him.
            
            “What’s going on with you two and that staring game?”
            
            
            I almost choked on my drink when I heard her.
            
            
            “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I tried to act casual.
            
            
            She was about to reply when the bartender appeared with a drink.
            
            
            “It’s on him,” he said, pointing at him.
            
            
            I met his gaze. He smiled and raised his drink, toasting me — a silent invitation to go beyond a shameless game of glances.
            
            
            Maybe I should say yes.

@ShortStory ​"That guy at the bar keeps staring at you."
            
            ​The bartender’s warning flipped something inside her broken mind. Looking over, her guilt twisted reality—she saw the boy she had always humiliated, the one who secretly protected her until her harsh words drove him away.
            
            ​Weeping in deep regret, she approached the shady creep, clutching his hand for forgiveness. Confused but fueled by lust, the scoundrel smirked, tightening his grip.
            
            ​Suddenly, her friend rushed back from the restroom, pulling her away forcefully.
            
            ​"Wake up!" her friend snapped at her. "He died last year. This is just a random stranger!"
