She Is Transient (edited by me)

Lauren's second year of university had just begun, but the excitement that filled the campus halls didn't reach her. For over a year, her best friend, Fay, had been missing, and while everyone else seemed to have moved on, acting as if she had never existed, Lauren couldn't. She carried the weight of Fay's absence every day, the unanswered questions haunting her like a ghost that refused to fade.

Determined to push through, Lauren tried to immerse herself in university life, making new friends and stepping into a world that felt both familiar and strange without Fay by her side. One night, after a party filled with laughter, music, and the fleeting illusion of normalcy, Lauren finds herself with a choice-one that could pull her deeper into the unknown. A choice that, once made, could change everything.
