- mentions of self-harm (only lightly)
- mentions of eating disorders
- brief mention of Sexual Assult
- occational foul language (swearing)
**None of these will be in much detail and I will post at the beginning of the chapter what triggers are in that chapter and which sections to miss, followed by a brief summary at the end for those who opted to skip but don't want to miss the story

Slowly and auscultating. I trepidatiously creeped through the woods, getting deeper to find him; it seemed the more I called the more isolated I was. The trees seemed to howl and viciously danced above me as I looked up. In my near vision, a black sheet whips past me, startling me to the side.
Nothing.
Again, it strikes like lightning behind me, but this time, it hits me in the back, winding me and throwing me forward. I sit up and feel my head hurt and my chest is collapsing in on itself; panic sets in my veins and makes a home like a feeling I don't think will ever leave even if I survive. If. This could be the end. This is the end, here, next to the death place of my brother - full circle - like I deserve.
