One Hundred and One, a Komorebi Novella

In a house built on secrets and neon light, Maya is the ghost in the machine. For a year, she has lived under the thumb of Arthur, surviving by playing a role she never wanted: the bait. She is the face behind the screen, the voice that lures teenage boys into a digital trap they can’t escape.

The latest victim is Tyler, number one hundred and one. He’s fifteen, scared, and desperate to protect his twelve-year-old sister from the monster on the other end of the line. There are roughly a hundred sextortion reports of teenagers—boys and girls—every day. Tyler is just the next one.

Maya has seen it all before, but this time, the reflection in the screen is too familiar.

As Tyler collapses under the same pressure that broke a hundred boys before him, Maya realizes that the cycle won’t end until someone risks everything to break it. But the price of his freedom is her own safety. To save a stranger, she must step out of the shadows and face the life—and the mother—she left behind.

In a world where one screenshot can dismantle a life, Maya has to decide: stay invisible and survive, or stand up and be seen.

One Hundred and One is a gripping psychological thriller about the terrifying reality of cyber safety, the weight of guilt, and the courage it takes to stop being an accomplice to your own nightmare.
