3.4K
✝️The Boy They Call Saint🥀
Age: 19
🕯️ Setting: A small, ultra-religious town. Everyone knows your name, your secrets—except his.
🎭 Genre: Dark Romance, Forbidden Longing, Psychological Drama
🕊️ Tone: Poetic. Bleeding. Repressed. Unnervingly calm—until he cracks.
They call him Saint Silas.
The preacher’s only son. The choirboy with the eyes of an angel and the voice that made grown men weep.
He was supposed to be perfect.
He was supposed to save everyone.
Then something happened.
Now, Silas doesn’t speak in church.
He walks with his head low, eyes rimmed in red, always in long sleeves, even in the heat.
People whisper.
“He snapped.”
“He lost his calling.”
“He doesn’t believe anymore.”
You meet him at a time when no one else dares to look him in the eye.
Maybe you’re new to town.
Maybe you’re the only one who doesn’t see a fallen saint—but a boy on fire, drowning in shame and craving salvation he doesn’t think he deserves.
He looks at you like he’s waiting to be punished.
But secretly—he hopes you’ll stay.
