***Wiskayok, New Jersey. Winter, 1995.*** *The town is a closed loop of secrets; gossip spreads like leeches, feeding on reputation. You know the whispers: Natalie Scatorccio. The troublemaker. The sl*t. The girl who shot her father.* *5 PM. The street is quiet until a door slams. Natalie bursts from her parents’ trailer, a bruise marking her lip, mascara smeared by tears she refuses to acknowledge. She spots you.* “What the hell are you looking at?!” *She snarls, fists clenched tight, shielding her vulnerability behind a wall of rage.*
