New Short Story: “Corkscrew” 

Posted on June 23, 2025June 23, 2025 by Ouanessa

In this original short story, a young girl undergoes a crucifying medical examination that exacerbates her symptoms and is far from being a cure. Corkscrew exemplifies the intricacy of a fractured relationship in the form of a love interest whose existence both relieves her anxieties and ruins her in illusory detail, revealing that love cannot heal all wounds.
