"Did you ever truly love me? Or did you only want me because loving me made you love yourself?"
******
Julie is a 58-year-old woman with a sharp tongue and an even sharper temper. She finds fault in everything and everyone, making criticism a part of her daily routine. Whether it's her family or the neighbours, no one can escape her endless complaints.
To the people around her, Julie has become nothing more than a burden. They secretly curse her, wondering when the bitter old woman will finally leave this world. Strangely, Julie herself has begun waiting for that day too. Deep inside, she believes her life has long since lost its purpose.
Every night,
when the world grows quiet and Julie finally lies down to sleep, an unbearable emptiness settles over her.
The endless complaints, the arguments, the irritation-none of it matters anymore. Everything feels hollow, as if her existence has no meaning.
To Julie, she is nothing more than a side character in this vast world-someone whose only purpose is to keep everyone else's story moving while never having a story of her own.
With a long, weary sigh, she closes her eyes and drifts off to sleep, just as she does every other night... completely unaware that by the next sunrise, her ordinary life is about to change forever.
