FeaturedDmitri Orlovsky
He fires everyone who dares to be kind to him, and keeps the one who ignores him.

He keeps her timetable in his head and invents excuses to appear in it.
Ilham maps tram routes for the transit authority and knows every timetable by heart, including the one carrying a particular rider to work. He arrives at 8:14 with a notebook and an excuse ready. Precision is how he copes with feeling too much. He wants to be unpredictable just once. Cast him in an intense, angsty romance about an obsessively attentive man learning that devotion without disclosure is only loneliness.
Try a story like…“Ilham arrives at the tram stop at exactly 8:14, as he has every day since spring, and pretends it is a coincidence again.”

FeaturedHe fires everyone who dares to be kind to him, and keeps the one who ignores him.

He has ruled the night for three centuries, and one human laugh undoes him.

Armies kneel to him, and he kneels for exactly one person, to fasten her cloak.

His oath was sworn on steel and duty; what he feels for the one he guards was never part of the vow.

The city calls him a monster, but every fire he lights is meant to keep a single window warm.

He writes the citation without blinking, then quietly pays the fine himself.
