Take What I Want, Then Leave

Innocence falters. Comfort crumbles. Corruption seeps through every crack.

This debut collection by Pauline Ugalde offers thirteen short stories that linger where reality thins, revealing how the ordinary can become monstrous in an instant. Quiet moments reveal unbearable truths. Sudden violence shatters any chance of peace. Human frailty and hidden cruelty stand fully exposed.

Each tale resists easy answers-leaving only the echo of uncertainty.

Enter if you dare.
