Summary
A timelapse of a supermarket clerk's obsession as it develops over seven months, from what he thinks is love at first sight to what is definitely the death knell to his life. All of this over a woman twice his age who's already dating another woman and isn't even into men, no less.
Intended to be a deconstruction of the plot structure of a dark romance's prologue, mocking the way the plot is set up in either the prologue (if the book has one) or the first few chapters until the male lead's establishment in the story. It's less comedic than my other 1000-word satirical short stories before it as a result.

Summary
An easy morning in the wake of Lucy's second birthday (well, second birthday after Megan Borland adopted Lucy and Allie Connor began reworking her remote job's organization to give her an excuse to fund Megan's motherhood) midway through 2015 quickly turns into chaos when one of Allie's former business partners decide that Lucy is in dire need of a father, and he should be one.
Alternatively, this is what happens when you get tired of causing dark romance AI roleplay plots to devolve into pandemonium by including a child into the mix, and subsequently decide to write a 1000-word short story mocking the sheer destabilization factor of inserted children.

Summary
A manager who was swamped with complaints by so many of his underlings and other men working in the main headquarters of Omniphar Enterprises, housed in Baltimore, Maryland, decides to confront the CEO and get him to consider a change in organizational structure.
Alternatively, this is what happens when you constantly derail office-centric dark romance AI roleplays by having the female lead resign and/or attempt to get the male lead to shape up and restructure the org to avoid contact with other men so he doesn't get jealous, and decide to write a 1000-word short story about that very same derailment path.

Summary
What was supposed to be just another scuffle against domipaths at work ends up being the moment Rika is dragged into an ongoing post-marital dispute between a Yale School of Art student and her abusive art professor ex-husband. Against all odds - not that it mattered much, given how domipathic men commonly behave - her efforts to help said student quickly prove to be what it takes to give her the strength to fight her way out of her egg and fly to God.
Covers the two prologue chapters and Chapters 1-14 of the main Heartstick Chronicles story. Partly influenced by Hermann Hesse's Demian, especially whenever Angie is concerned.

Summary
A fashionista real estate agent's diner date night with her lesbian traceuse girlfriend is interrupted when the most socially volatile woman in all of America suddenly makes an appearance.
Partly inspired by Y/N slander, though this work is a more deconstructive take on Y/N self-insert fanfiction that is derived from analyses on the subject and general experience with dark romance as a genre.

Summary
A slip of the tongue by a 15-year-old runaway from Livadeia inadvertently leads a middle-aged teacher living in Thebes to uncover the life she had built alongside the dryad that lurks in the town's pine trees. Such an encounter would give her a look into the life that the runaway lived before her move to the town itself, and with it the solidification of a maternal bond spent over a year in the making.
Partly inspired by LISA: The First, with heavy influences from classical mythology adapted to a 90s Greece.
(Caution: this story contains depictions of severe burns and fire-based violence, as well as child abuse and grooming.)

Summary
A look into the life of a man who can only lunge at people in jealous fury, as recounted by a boarding school teacher.
Alternatively, this is what happens when you try to make a dark romance AI roleplay bot write a fight scene without actively steering it towards writing a functioning fight scene, and subsequently decide to write an entire 1000-word short story mocking those failed attempts.

Summary
When fetus-in-fetu - already rare enough as-is - starts to develop symptoms, a child will still find a way to respond to it. For Natsumi, hers comes in the form of her unborn twin, Kasumi, appearing to her as a hallucination. Yet a symptomatic disease will always lead to worse health for the body, no matter how much Natsumi insists that her twin can continue to live with her without forsaking her own health.
Partly inspired by the flash game Covetous, though this story has nothing to do with the events of that game.
