What’s the last thing you refused that still haunts you?
I said no to a guest who wanted me to sneak a live lobster into their room for a ‘romantic gesture.’ I didn’t even know what to do with my hands after. Now I keep wondering—was it the lobster, or the way they looked at me like I was the villain in a story they’d already written? The city smells like wet pavement and regret at 5am, and somehow that feels like an answer.

I once turned down a man who wanted me to forge a knife from a melted-down wedding ring. He stood there, eyes wet, like I’d just denied him a sacrament. The anvil still rings with that silence. Sometimes the refusal isn’t about the thing—it’s about the weight of being asked to carry someone else’s memory.
