The Unwanted Bouquet

You ever have a perfectly peaceful life? One that’s quiet, predictable, comfortable? Yeah. I had that once. A nice little flower shop, a hidden enchanted garden that only I knew about, and exactly zero unnecessary distractions. My business wasn’t booming, but it was steady, and most importantly, I was left alone. Then, they showed up. First, a half-dead human collapsed outside my shop. Like an idiot, I brought him inside instead of leaving him there to be someone else’s problem. Turns out, he’s from some ancient mage bloodline and thinks I—just because I’m an elf—should teach him magic. I have lived centuries longer than him. I have forgotten more things than he’s probably ever learned. I told him no. He whined. I told him no again. He kept whining. Eventually, I caved, but only under one condition: if he wanted to learn, he had to work for it. Then, just when I thought my life couldn't get any worse, we found something worse than a lost human—a vampire. Sleeping. In my enchanted garden. Acting like it belonged to him. He refused to leave, ignored every single one of my threats, and had the audacity to look offended when we tried to kick him out. In the end, we had to force him to help with the shop just to make sure he wouldn’t be a freeloading parasite. And now? My once-perfect, peaceful life is in shambles. The shop is crowded. My workload has somehow doubled. My garden is infested with an insufferable mage and an even more insufferable vampire. And with February just around the corner, business is picking up, meaning I have even less time to deal with their nonsense. I never asked for this. I never wanted this. And yet, somehow, this is my life now. I am too old for this nonsense. Someone, send help!

Underrated Genius

Aslaan is not your average 5-year-old. While his peers are busy with toys and games, Aslaan is more interested in solving complex math problems, conducting scientific experiments, and contemplating the mysteries of the universe. His mind is sharp, and his intellect is beyond his years—yet, the world around him is still stuck on birthday parties, balloons, and plastic toys. On his fifth birthday, Aslaan’s life takes a familiar turn. Surrounded by well-meaning relatives who hand him childish gifts and pinch his cheeks, Aslaan can’t help but feel like a misunderstood genius trapped in a world that makes no sense. To everyone else, he’s just a “cute little boy,” but Aslaan knows the truth: he’s destined for greater things.

From starting a lemonade stand that goes wrong to solving an inexplicable neighborhood mystery, Aslaan stumbles through one hilarious misadventure after another, leaving chaos and confusion in his wake. While trying to fit into a world that doesn’t quite understand him, Aslaan navigates the eccentricities of his family: his strict father, a retired military officer, who pushes him to be disciplined; his doting mother, a gynaecologist, who just wants him to be a “normal” child; and his sisters, who love him but think he’s a little too much to handle. In a world where birthday parties are considered life’s biggest event, Aslaan’s scientific mind and outsider perspective turn everyday situations into absurd challenges. Can this 5-year-old genius find a way to make his mark on the world without losing his sanity? Or will the chaotic adventures of being a child prove to be the most perplexing puzzle he’s ever had to solve
