The story
Elaine has a hyper-sensitive nose, and lately her husband Marcus carries a stench no specialist can explain. His medical reports are perfect, yet the smell of sewage clings to him, and their marriage is on hold.
On his birthday, the smartwatch Elaine gave him buzzes with messages from a student: an office, a chair, a cream for swelling. Marcus is a tenured engineering professor who spent twenty years mentoring only men, until this year, when he made an exception for Chloe Chen.
As Elaine pieces together two months of strange behavior, she must decide who "C-is-for-Courage" really is, and why a young woman would risk her career this way.
Opening
It's hard to describe. It's like a backed-up septic tank mixed with the smell of rotting fish.
Whenever he gets close, the stench intensifies, making me sick to my stomach.
"Elaine, can we... tonight?"
He hugged me from behind again, his warm breath on my neck. But the first thing to hit me was that familiar, putrid smell.
My stomach churned. I shoved him away.
"Marcus, you smell disgusting!"
The desire on his face vanished, replaced by a flash of annoyance.
"Elaine, are you sick? How many specialists have we seen? They all said I'm fine!
