    Summary

    There was nothing left to do but put this strange woman from his mind. She was, after all, nothing more than another pretty woman in Paris, doing what all Parisians of a more attractive build did: forget they were dying slow, happy lives at the expense of others’ misfortune. He told himself that he would not fall vulnerable to the whims of such creatures. Not when they served no purpose in a monster’s life, save to bring him false hope.

    But Erik was always horrible at keeping promises—especially the ones made to himself.

    Summary

    Several failed business ventures later, a music school dropout found himself with his mother's meager inheritance and the chance to stop the city from bulldozing the whole thing. That was the early 2000s, and now he sat on a park that threatened to turn a profit...any day now.

    Only, of course, if people did not stop trying to break in.

    Summary

    Based on a prompt:
    Erik is a successful film score composer, but no one knows him. Fronted by the much more palatable Nadir Kanan, his real identity remains a secret and the man himself remains a hermit.
    ...until a pandemic comes along and ushers in an era of masks.
