How to escaped insufficiency of light.
4 parts Ongoing Ava grows up under the shadow of her abusive father, enduring constant fear, loneliness, and emotional wounds. She tries reaching out for help but finds no real support, leaving her to struggle alone. Over time, hopelessness consumes her, and she begins to see ending her life as the only escape. She carefully plans it, preparing with calm resignation.
On the night she means to follow through, fate intervenes in small, unexpected ways-a missed bus, a chance encounter, an act of kindness-that divert her from her plan. Instead of ending her life, she finds herself in a stranger's home, offered shelter, warmth, and a reprieve she never imagined. Lying in an unfamiliar but safe bed, Ava realizes she's been given another chance. It doesn't erase her pain, but it opens the possibility of a different future.
