Seraphina

In the shadow of her 17th year, Seraphina's joy is snuffed out by a voice on the other end of the line, casting a pall over her birthday celebration. Amidst the whisper of silk and the glint of candlelight, she stands as a solitary figure, poised between the innocence of youth and the stark realities of a world that refuses to wait. Her eyes, pools of simmering determination, speak of a resolve born from the crucible of sorrow. Seraphina embodies the delicate balance between grace and grit, a beacon of hope in a society that has seen too much despair. With each step she takes, she weaves a tapestry of resilience, her journey a testament to the indomitable human spirit. Though her heart aches, she is a warrior in the making, ready to face the tempest with a calm, unwavering gaze.
