She had to get out of there.

As Ellie's feet carried her across the kitchen floor, she thought about how it would feel to be a ghost among trees, to blend in with the forest whose greenery she had been painting for years.

No one said a word. Ellie was certain she had never heard a silence so silent before.

~*~ 

When nine-year-old Ellie's world is turned upside down, she runs away to the forest. There, she finds a mysterious girl who offers the perfect distraction. After spending the afternoon with her new friend, the charm begins to wear off, and Ellie starts to realize that the secrets of this forest are much darker than her own.

𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝐗 𝐉𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐯𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐧. In a world that screams, I stand in despair, My voice drowned out, lost in the air. Chains of tradition tighten each day, I long to escape, but I'm forced to stay. Each breath I take feels heavy and torn, Every mistake a scar I've worn. I crave a sky where I can be free, Away from the walls that imprison me. For now, I sit with my heart in pain, Silent, yet screaming, again and again. Though shattered, a spark in me still survives, Dreaming of freedom where my soul can rise.
