The Shadow With In

She was never meant to survive that house.

Growing up in a broken family, she learned early that love could sound like yelling, and silence could hurt even more. Every day felt like drowning long before she ever touched the water. Bruised by words and suffocated by a life she didn't choose, she made a decision one night-to run and never look back.

But freedom came with a cost.

Cold, alone, and desperate, she found herself at the edge of dark, endless water. One slip. One breath. One mistake. And suddenly, she was sinking-her lungs burning, her body fading, her voice lost to the depths.

They say she died that night.

They're wrong.

But some girls don't get happy endings.

And some shadows... never let go.
