Above the Bass

A chaotic college night spirals into unexpected encounters and tension in this witty, suspenseful story of boundaries and discovery.

In a bustling Ellington dorm during a massive floor-wide party, a student returns to their room expecting solitude—or at least familiar faces. Instead, they find a stranger asleep in their bed, igniting confusion, frustration, and the urgent need to reclaim personal space. As music thumps through the hallways and the party rages on, the encounter forces both the resident and the intruder to navigate social awkwardness, assert boundaries, and confront the unpredictability of communal living. Above the Bass is a lively, suspense-tinged story that captures the energy, chaos, and unexpected human connections of college life.
