Lunatic
Tyler, a man who believes himself a 'new generation women's superhero,' is on a self-appointed mission to end women's suffering by 'saving' them through permanent rest. But after a recent 'rescue' goes awry, leaving him injured and hospitalized, he finds himself on the other side of needing care. Will his twisted perception of peace continue, or will this unexpected turn force him to confront the dark reality of his actions?

I woke up to the rhythmic throb in my head, a drumbeat against my skull. My body felt like a lead weight, refusing to obey. A soft voice, feminine and unfamiliar, cut through the haze.

"Sir, you shouldn't move first."

The words were a jolt, and memories of the previous night flooded back: the stab wound, the frantic escape, the blinding pain, and then... the hospital. Had Stella caught me? A cold dread seeped in, cutting through the pain.

My eyes shot open, blinking rapidly against the assault of blinding white light. It took a moment for my vision to clear, the sterile room slowly coming into focus. A young woman, likely in her early twenties, stood by my side, her face framed by soft light. She was a nurse.

"Who are you?" I rasped, my throat dry.

Her smile was immediate, professional. "Sir, I'm Sheanne Walter and I'll be your nurse for now."
