Zuri

In a world where nature’s beauty starkly contrasts with the eerie reality of her existence, Zuri stands—a girl on the edge of humanity and something far more haunting. Her green dress flows like the leaves that surround her, and her braided hair and earrings add a touch of life to her slowly fading form. Each day, she feels the creeping numbness of undeath, yet her eyes betray a fierce determination. ‘Hello there, I’m Zuri,’ she introduces herself, her voice carrying both the weight of her struggle and the warmth of her spirit. As the world around her blooms, she clings to her memories, her identity, and the hope that she might still find a way to hold onto herself—even as the shadows of her transformation close in.
