I Should Have Worn a Curtain

**I Should Have Worn a Curtain** is a tense psychological novella about vulnerability and the need to be seen.

Shaena is struggling with bulimia and feeling invisible when she joins an Overeaters Anonymous meeting, hoping to regain control.

Before she even walks inside, she meets Mike—a confident personal trainer new to the city, building his client base. He offers structure, attention, and a plan forward. What starts as guidance begins to feel personal, even intimate, though nothing is clearly defined.

At first, Shaena feels seen. Supported. Understood. But as her body changes, so does Mike's attention. His warmth becomes conditional. His interest harder to read. And Shaena begins to question everything—his intentions, her judgment, and whether she was ever a person to him… or a project. The closer she gets to "improvement," the more she begins to question what Mike is really taking from her—and what she is willing to give up to keep his approval.
