Wattpad Dark Fantasy - Dark Tournaments October Contest Winner

I really didn't mean to cause the end of the world, honestly. It kind of just, you know, happened, and maybe I was at the center of it. Okay, so it wasn't the end of the world. It just seemed like it. 
The weather had turned crazy with lightning shooting up from the clouds into the almost clear sky, pitch-black night, but it was actually during the day. If that wasn't enough to make the locals in this tiny town flee in terror, then the birds flying backwards could probably do the job. Don't forget to add to that the ghosts floating towards the lake.
So, how did the town of Norbury manage to have their own little world of drama? Well, it all started with a school assignment. Shall we begin?

Welcome to the short story written for the Wattpad Dark Fantasy Dark Tournaments October prompt # 3 
Upon researching your family tree, you discover there was a witch who stood accused for crimes unknown. This has to be the only explanation for the events occurring around you.

I hope you enjoy the story!

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.
