The Wild Things of Now

Max’s room is quiet—but his mind is loud.

With the world outside calling and his phone buzzing with distractions, Max feels lost in a storm of emotions, screens, and noise. That’s when the wild things arrive—not monsters, but living creatures made from his feelings: happiness that spins too fast, distractions that never stop, and a constant buzz that won’t let him think.
