What Make You Can Also Brake You
A dark, wry horror-romance by Onimore IBRAHIM AINA.

Sixteen-year-old Elias Brake can literally fix anything he touches: cracked phones, broken bones, bleeding hearts. The people of Gallow’s End call him “Glue” and mostly use him like a human repair kit. Then Mara Finch blows into town: fearless, funny, covered in mysterious old scars, and absolutely delighted by Elias’s creepy talent.They fall in love fast and messy. Mara starts breaking things on purpose just to watch him fix them (cups, mirrors, her little brother’s arm, herself). Every repair makes Elias a little less human: his veins blacken, his fingers click like loose teeth, cold spreads through him like frostbite in July.On Halloween, in the local haunted house where kids have been vanishing for decades, Mara finally reveals the truth: she’s been broken so many times that only a third, final “fix” can make her permanently whole. And the price for that third fix is the fixer himself.Elias tries to save her anyway.
His body crumbles to black dust that pours into her skin and knits her perfect. Mara (now glowing, scar-free, and smiling with too many stolen voices) thanks him, kisses what’s left of his face, and walks out of the house carrying every child the building ever ate inside her.The story ends with Mara still in town, still drawing monsters that crawl off the page, still humming Elias’s three-note tune. The warning is simple and merciless:What makes you can also brake you.
Especially when it’s wearing the face of the person you love most.
