Phoenix

Max never imagined a single spark could rewrite his existence. One moment he stands in a quiet student boarding house, the next his body is enveloped in roaring flames that seem both intoxicating and terrifying. As the fire subsides, he finds himself inexplicably naked, his clothes reappearing as if animated by an unseen wind, and the world around him feels oddly suspended in a heavy silence.

The sudden appearance of his girlfriend Fran, pale and trembling, forces Max to confront the bewildering reality of his new gift. He tries to reassure her, but her eyes betray a deep unease, hinting that the fire may have left more than scorch marks on the carpet. Together they grapple with the question of whether Max’s power is a miracle, a curse, or something far more dangerous, setting the stage for a tense exploration of control, identity, and the thin line between wonder and horror.
