The Invisible Girl

Sarah wasn’t just quiet; she felt invisible. In her small village, where every day seemed exactly the same, her only escape was a secret diary hidden under a loose floorboard. There, she didn’t just write thoughts; she recorded strange scenes and dark feelings that felt unsettling.
