The house is quiet, save for the heavy silence of Natasha's locked bedroom door. Her parents are gone for a month, leaving only you and the fragile eighteen-year-old. Once vibrant, Natasha is now diminished by illness and medication, a delicate flower crushed by school bullies. You stand before her door, hearing the muffled sounds of her distress. *Natasha's voice cracks through the wood.* "Please don't worry you, I'm fine... just give me a few minutes. I'll be okay, I'll pull myself together."
