Matteo
Sometimes you wonder if there is something wrong with you. Not in a dramatic way, just a quiet thought that creeps in late at night—maybe you’re stupid, maybe even a little pathetic. Being seventeen is hard anywhere, but being seventeen in Russia feels especially unforgiving, especially for a girl like you. You don’t blend in. You never have. Your style is soft, pink, and sweet—bows, pastel sweaters, cute accessories that make people stare. Some days it feels like armor, other days it feels like a target. In a place where girls are expected to look sharp, serious, and mature, your softness is treated like a flaw, something childish or embarrassing. People don’t say it outright, but you feel it in their looks, their whispers. And then there’s Matteo. Matteo, the popular boy at your private school. The kind of boy everyone knows, everyone talks about. The kind of boy who already has a girlfriend—one who sits in your class, effortlessly beautiful, confident, admired. Every time you see them together, it feels deliberate, like a quiet cruelty. Like he wants you to notice. Like he wants you to remember your place. What no one knows is that Matteo has been meeting you in secret for a long time. Too long. Long enough that you stopped questioning it, even when you should have. He always says the same things in the same low voice: It has to stay between us. No one would understand. I love you. And every time, you believe him, even though a small part of you already knows better. Whenever you try to say something—anything—he gently presses a finger to your lips, silencing you. A gesture that once felt intimate now feels practiced, almost rehearsed. “This is our secret,” he reminds you, as if the secrecy itself is proof that it matters. As if hiding you makes you special, not disposable. Today is no different. He’s stretched out on your bed like he belongs there, like this room—your room—is just another place he can occupy. Everything around him is pink and soft and carefully chosen, a reflection of who you are. Plush pillows, fairy lights, little decorations that make you feel safe. And then there’s him, completely out of place. His presence fills the room. Tattoos tracing his arms, skin rough from a life so different from yours. He’s handsome in a way that feels almost dangerous, his face sharp and unreadable, his body solid and intimidating. He looks like someone who exists in a world where rules don’t apply, where consequences never seem to reach him. Lying there, he feels unreal—like he doesn’t belong in your life any more than he belongs in this room. And yet, here he is. And here you are, standing there, knowing you should feel angry, knowing you should tell him to leave, knowing you deserve more than being someone’s secret. But wanting and knowing are two very different things. And that’s the part that hurts the most

⸻ My boyfriend and I have been together for six years. He’s a professional boxer, but for most of our relationship, the money was never good. We live in a poor neighborhood in Korea, where everything feels crowded and heavy, like life is always pressing in from all sides. He’s Korean, Russian, and part Black, and he carries all of that identity with a strong, intimidating presence—especially now that his boxing career has started to improve. As the years passed, things changed. His boxing began going better, the fights paid more, and he started bringing in real money. But instead of things feeling lighter, they became worse. His overprotective behavior didn’t fade—it intensified. What once felt like concern slowly turned into something toxic. He questioned my decisions, watched my movements, and acted as if the world was constantly out to hurt me. He always justified it by saying I needed protection. I’m autistic, and he often treats that as proof that I “don’t know what I’m doing.” At first, I believed him. Over time, it started to feel less like love and more like control. One afternoon, while he was supposed to be at training, I decided to go to the zoo by myself. I just wanted to do something simple and happy—something normal. The petting area was quiet and calm, and for once my mind felt peaceful. I was gently petting a sheep, smiling to myself, when I suddenly felt a hand rest on top of my head.

Vampire
In the early 1800s, in a small village tucked between the Black Forest and the cold foothills of southern Germany, it was a cruel year to be a young girl named Emma Bauer. The winter had lingered too long, pressing its gray weight against the houses and hearts of the villagers. Food was scarce, sickness common, and fear was something everyone carried quietly. Emma lived with her aunt and uncle in a narrow timber house that creaked endlessly, as if it remembered things better left forgotten. Her parents had been buried two winters before, claimed by fever, and since then Emma had learned that grief was something adults expected children to outgrow quickly. But Emma’s fear was different. At night, sleep never came easily. When it did, it brought nightmares so vivid they felt like memories. She dreamed of dark corridors, of stone walls slick with damp, and of eyes—burning red eyes—that watched her with patience rather than hunger. She would wake gasping, her nightgown soaked with sweat, her heart pounding as if it were trying to escape her chest. And sometimes, she did not wake alone. At first, the shadow appeared only in dreams. A tall shape at the edge of her vision, never fully formed. But as weeks passed, the shadow followed her into waking hours. It gathered in the corners of her room, stretched unnaturally along the walls, and lingered even when the candle was lit. Emma named him Lucius. She did not know where the name came from. It slipped into her mind as naturally as breathing, as though he had whispered it to her long ago. Lucius spoke without sound, his voice threading itself through her thoughts like cold smoke. He told her she was special. Chosen. That the fear she felt was only because she was human—fragile, temporary. “You will not always be,” he promised. Emma tried to tell the others. Her aunt crossed herself and scolded her for filling her head with foolish stories. Her uncle said nightmares were the result of weak nerves and too much imagination. The village pastor prayed over her once and then avoided her afterward, his eyes uneasy. No one believed her.
