Toxic

Short Story / Plot Summary

Tomas, a successful but chronically lonely young man in his thirties, meets Ester, an attractive, alluring and enticing girl at the public pool where he is working out. Her non-conforming and seemingly free approach to life fascinates Tomas and captivates and absorbs him almost immediately. He thinks that she feels the same way about him. But everything changes at the moment that Maty, a mysterious guy from Esther's past, enters the story. All of a sudden, Tomas finds himself in the middle of an apparent love triangle.
