BEFORE I VANISH

Some people disappear loudly. Others fade out so quietly no one notices until the space they used to occupy vanishes entirely.

Andrea was still there. She showed up to class. She turned in assignments. She laughed at the right moments. She replied when spoken to-most of the time.

But between the messages, the group chats, the calls she stopped answering, the school, and the ones she couldn't escape, something was unraveling in pieces no one thought to connect.

Afterward, there's only what people remember-and what they wish they had noticed sooner.

Told through fragmented journal entries, text threads, school essays, interviews, online posts, and recovered digital traces, BEFORE I VANISH pieces together the final weeks of a girl who was never as "fine" as she looked.

Some stories don't begin with what happened.

They begin with everything that was ignored.
