Quentin Daly's Loss of Reality: Episode One

An episodic short shory.

Life should be simple for Quentin Daly. His new job as an autopsy technician keeps him comfortably in the company of those who can’t judge his social awkwardness. But every morning, ordering coffee becomes an exercise in pure terror thanks to Naomi, the barista whose smile stops his heart.

Just when Quentin has resigned himself to a lifetime of silent pining, an unconventional mentor barges into his life, determined to transform him from a tongue-tied underdog to a confident suitor. As his rigid daily routine spirals into a wild frenzy, Quentin begins to question everything he thought he knew about life, love, and his own sanity.
