Nelligan Prize For Short

For Me, For Us, For Everyone

Cigarette smoke curls in the stagnant air, the dim glow of a dying bulb casting twisted shadows against the walls littered with half-torn articles and red-thread connections. Somewhere between the ink-stained papers and the scattered pills, a man sits—silent, unmoving, staring blankly at a stuffed monkey in a clown suit. A detective, they call him. A man of justice, a solver of mysteries. But behind the applause and empty praises, behind the sharp smiles and hollow congratulations, he is nothing but a walking contradiction—one hand holding a case file, the other exchanging cash for little plastic sachets. His mind is a labyrinth of voices, whispers that coil around his thoughts like suffocating vines. His brother grins at him from the corners of his vision, eyes glinting with the truth he refuses to face. His father’s voice is gentle, forgiving—too forgiving. Too much for a man who doesn’t deserve it. Each pill swallowed is another step into the illusion, another moment of stolen happiness before the weight of reality drags him under. He walks the city streets, drowning in faces that admire him, loathe him, see him as something he is not. He is both a hero and a villain, a detective and a criminal, a man trying to outrun the past while shackled to its corpse. And at the end of the night, when the echoes of the world fall away, all that remains is the darkness, the whispers, and the suffocating truth—he can never escape them.

I can travel short distances

The world is on the brink. A cataclysmic event, a threat of unimaginable proportions, looms large on the horizon. But hope, however fragile, still flickers. In the heart of this impending doom lies a group of extraordinary individuals: the Chosen. Each possesses unique abilities, ranked from the weakest E-Class to the supremely powerful S-Class. They are the last line of defense, humanity’s only hope against the encroaching darkness. This is a world where power is not simply bestowed, but forged through relentless training, strategic thinking, and the unwavering belief in oneself. Our story centers on Kai, a Chosen with a seemingly insignificant ability: short-range teleportation, a mere twice-daily flicker across short distances – an E-Class power in a world dominated by the elite. But Kai refuses to be defined by his limitations. He sees his ability not as a weakness, but as a foundation—a springboard for growth, a tool to be sharpened and honed to its full potential. He's an underdog, a quiet observer, but his determination burns bright. His journey is one of selfdiscovery, mastering his abilities, and uncovering the secrets of the looming apocalypse. He'll forge alliances, face betrayals, and overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. He will train relentlessly, pushing his limits, learning to leverage the strengths of others, and ultimately defining what it means to be strong. This isn't just a fight for survival; it's a journey of self-improvement, a testament to the power of the human spirit, and a thrilling exploration of what happens when ordinary individuals are thrust into extraordinary circumstances. Prepare yourself for a fast-paced adventure filled with epic battles, unexpected twists, and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit. The game has begun, and the stakes are higher than ever.
