Cazarija Abartis
In The Argument, Cezarija Abartis distills a fractured relationship into a lyrical moment of reckoning. Between apology and silence, illness and memory, a couple navigates the tender debris of love undone. With quiet detail and emotional tension, the story captures how longing, regret, and the ache for comfort coexist in the smallest gestures. A fevered atmosphere, a couch, and a whispered “Honey”—this is where truth, or illusion, might begin again
In Caroline Phones Her Mother, Cezarija Abartis delicately unspools the tension and tenderness between a daughter in crisis and a mother fading with age. Through miscommunications, coughs, and confessions, this intimate phone call captures generational bonds, unspoken fears, and the aching beauty of imperfect love—where memory, grief, and humour quietly intertwine.
In Beauty and the Beast, Cezarija Abartis reimagines the classic tale with quiet power and emotional grace. A merchant’s simple gift leads his daughter into a mysterious shop where enchantment, servitude, and transformation unfold. With a wise dog, a shadowed voice, and the enduring symbol of a rose, this retelling explores love’s true cost and the redemptive beauty of understanding what really matters. A haunting, delicate story told in tender, lucid prose.
