Catalyst

 In a fleeting romance between Ela and Gaia, desire wraps around wounds like rope on bare skin. They share a one-time, intimate encounter. Before Ela can catch her breath, Gaia is gone leaving her bound — to memory, to an unfinished moment, to the question: what now? From the void, an inner struggle begins — between control and surrender, between loss and self-discovery. Ela's loneliness shifts, from aching to awakening.
