He’s used to seeing the world in black and white, good and bad – and right now, he’s lost in the dark.
Menrva's Summary
THE PULSE
Three distinct couples navigate the volatile intersection of personal trauma, social expectations, and the magnetic pull of unconventional partners. Each narrative follows a protagonist attempting to reconcile their structured life or emotional baggage with a romantic interest who challenges their established boundaries. The stories utilize a rotating third-person perspective to explore the internal conflicts of characters who are often defined by their pasts or their reputations. The physical and social constraints of the tattoo shop setting and the surrounding community serve as a backdrop for these high-stakes romantic entanglements.

THE COLLECTIVE ECHO
This collection is characterized by its focus on the intense, often turbulent emotional lives of its protagonists.
