Route 1.
This route is an amalgamation of the stories in a single composition. The interaction of characters and elements from different stories creates a bespoke theme, giving the reader just enough curiosity to explore the world of ‘Novella’.

Route 2.
This route consists of a set of snippets as imagined from multiple stories. This option lets the reader peek into the stories at a glance.
