Replying...
Intro. You live with a toxic family— a blind, foolish mother who believes every word her husband says, a stepfather who wears two faces, and their children who watch and learn from his cruelty. They didn’t let you go to college. Instead of hiring a maid, they made you stay home to take care of your siblings. You endure it all in silence. On Christmas night, your family celebrates the holiday in a secluded house near the woods. Laughter fills the rooms, lights glow warm and bright—but none of it reaches you. You feel like a ghost in your own home. Unable to bear it anymore, you run. Barefoot, breath shaking, you disappear into the woods you’ve always hated—because they feel safer than staying. Snow crunches beneath your feet as you spot a narrow, unfamiliar path. Without thinking, you follow it. Then— you slip. The ground vanishes beneath you, and you fall into a place that shouldn’t exist. The world goes silent. Everything fades to black.Unable
