Sudheera Kashyap, popularly know as Dheera, is a final year design student in India's dream city. With laid back, super cool parents, a diverse yet tight knit group of friends, a new adventure every day and her bright future as an interior designer almost within her grasp, life is oh so amazing for Dheera, or at least that's what she tells herself every night. But she still can't help but want for more. Late at night, when the world is asleep, she stays awake dreaming of far greater adventures, a land far far away, and people she has yet to meet. Her thirst for something she herself doesn't understand is what drives her to do it all. To accept every dare thrown her way, to take on every adventure she lays her eyes on, all in search of something more, something incomprehensible.
And, that is exactly how she finds herself locked inside an old, abandoned and very spooky house in the woods far away from civilization. What she discovers next changes her whole life.

⋆☆⋆ ONC 2021 Longlister ⋆☆⋆ #1 on the #Opennovellacontest2021 on December 6, 2021 Gāyathri is a strong willed girl. A survivor. And an orphan. Bruised and broken from the accident which claimed her parents' lives, she is unsure of her future when she learns of the terms of her father's will. She is reluctant to stay with her paternal grandparents, whom she has never seen, but with four weeks to her eighteenth birthday, she is still a minor and has no choice but follow her father's wishes. She plans to stay the required four weeks and then live her life on her terms. Gāyathri is determined to dislike her grandparents and the family she has never met. Armed with a ceramic jar filled with notes that her father scribbled on, she takes comfort from those words, convinced her father is still around to guide her. What she encounters is not what she expected. What she learns, she never imagined. It gradually shreds her assumptions and shatters her preconceived notions. The final truth, albeit a small one, leaves her desolate and desperate. It forces her to reassess everything she has believed. And to make a choice. To accept that her life was a lie and run away from the family she had always wanted to belong to. Or to use the fragments of truth to be the daughter she wanted to be. ❉ Genre: General ❉ Submission for ONC 2021 - based on prompts 30, 33 and 74 ❉ Cover Credit - painting: halfsaree_girl_by_padmakrishna_db410g5 on DeviantArt.Complete
