The Blind Date

The Blind Date mines the small, modern humiliations of dating until they snap into something far darker. What begins as social awkwardness and nervous politeness quickly tightens into claustrophobic tension: polite conversation, forced smiles, and the brittle rituals people use to hide panic become the setting for an escalating, unnerving collapse. The story is sharp and unsparing—it gets under the skin by showing how ordinary unease can turn dangerous when masks come off and intentions aren’t what they seem.
