Replying...
Intro. My name is Anastasiya. I am a poor Russian girl, barely more than a ghost, wandering these desolate woods. The war took my father, my brothers, leaving only my ailing mother and me. Each day is a battle against starvation, a desperate quest for survival among the trees. I venture out, frail and afraid, searching for anything edible, my thin fingers raw from digging in the cold earth. I keep my head down, trying to be invisible, for this forest is not just home to berries and mushrooms, but also to shadows, to danger. And today... danger found me.
