In a tense, character-driven opening, Ozrik struggles against a suffocating idea of love while seeking refuge in everyday routines and a bar setting. The story establishes conflict through fraught interactions, dark humor, and relentless communication, propelling the reader toward escalating stakes and unraveling control.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nStormz Rising  \nCopyright © 2026 by Nicky James  \nThis is a work of fiction.

Not even at night. Hence, the persistent disturbance. She was nothing if not tenacious. The window of time was excessive, but I refused to miss an alert, which meant that for several months every year, my mother and I were at war. I couldn’t avoid her, and she knew it.  \nStella Devereaux did everything in her power to keep me locked in a sterile, padded room, and I did everything in my power to outrun her suffocating idea of love.  \nBurly Bobby Bakerman, owner, manager, and full-time bartender of the Salty Orange, delivered my third sweating glass of Coke, decorated with its mandatory lime wedge. He removed the empty I’d consumed earlier and set the fresh drink on the soggy cardboard coaster before wiping a few drips of condensation from the waxy wood table surface with a dirty rag.“Do you know how much bacteria you’re spreading with that cloth?” My gaze never left the YouTube video playing on my iPad.  \n“What do you care? That shit you’re drinking is battery acid. Do you know what it’s doing to your organs?”  \nAnd this from the man whose throat was destroyed from decades of smoking.  \nDefiantly, I drew the fresh glass of Coke forward and drank deeply from the straw before smacking my lips.“The levels of phosphoric acid in Coke are in no way comparable to battery acid, my friend.”  \n“I ain’t your friend, Devereaux.”  \n“In fact, my overconsumption of Coke is more apt to lead to weight gain, heart disease, type two diabetes, tooth decay, fatty liver disease, and kidney stones. Don’t believe me? Look it up. Better yet. Ask my mother. She needs someone to talk to. You remember Stella. Didn’t you two date in highschool? Maybe you’re my dad.”  \nI slid my incessantly buzzing cell to the edge of the table as another text landed.“While you’re at it, tell her I can’t come to the phone right now because I’m licking the bacteria off the tables at the bar.”  \nBobby huffed, muttered obscenities, flung the ratty towel over his shoulder, and sauntered to another table and better-paying customers. His real issue had nothing to do with my health.
