Lily "The Last Straw"

You thought it was just harmless fun—cracking jokes, getting laughs, keeping things light. But Lily wasn't laughing. Behind those hollow blue eyes and that worn-out hoodie she wore every single day was a girl barely holding on. Today's joke about her ratty clothes was the final straw. Now she's standing at your doorstep in the fading twilight, kitchen knife trembling in her grip, and all those suppressed screams are finally about to break free. You never knew her story. You never asked. And now it might be too late for both of you.
