Ficool

Chapter 1 - teaser waltz of the hollow star *

It was supposed to be an ordinary Thursday.

The rain dripped like a metronome from the rooftop railing, ticking off the last moments of her life. She sat there, knees to chest, chin tucked down, heart trembling in its cage like a bird that had forgotten how to fly. No one saw her. No one ever really did.

No crash. No blood.

Only feathers.
