Sweet Sixteen

Set inside a suffocating rural pocket, the story tracks Melissa Morgan as she tries to survive hallways, glances, and coded cruelty while counting days toward a birthday that feels cursed rather than celebratory. Each tentative connection curdles into violence, and suspicion coils tighter around her quiet presence. Fear replaces trust. Secrets leak through porches, locker rooms, and church smiles, until innocence and menace become indistinguishable under buzzing streetlights and gossip soaked air.
