He Wanted to be Seen, She Wanted to be Heard
by K T Fenton
Iris, a seemingly average 21-year-old, embarks on a new chapter of her life as a mature university student, waking up in an unfamiliar room that marks the beginning of her journey into adulthood. What starts as just another mundane day in Iris’s life quickly veers into the extraordinary when she encounters a enigmatic young man, shrouded in secrecy, whose path serendipitously intersects with hers.
As the day unfolds, the unexpected resurgence of a figure from Iris’s troubled past challenges her to confront memories she believed were long buried. This blast from the past forces Iris to question the very essence of her identity, leading her to the startling realization that she is not the ordinary girl she once thought she was.
