Winterfeld

This story is written with respect to the deep trauma and agony carried by the survivors of the Nova Festival attack.

Elara's life permanently froze ten years ago, at the top of the Ferris wheel she rode with her friend Johanna, when her innocence shattered. As the only survivor of that accident, Elara spent years grappling with the unbearable guilt of survival and endless solitude.

This curse was terrifyingly resurrected by the Nova Festival attack, an event that upended the lives of a generation. Elara was forced to confront not only her past but also the crushing burden of her friends who vanished before her eyes. Sophie's final words and Lukas's cruel accusations culminated in a single question echoing in Elara's mind: Is survival a blessing or a curse?

Will Elara put down the burden she carries and surrender to the past, or will she endure her perpetual torment by staying alive?

The decision she makes will seal not only her own fate but also the future of the one person remaining from this chaos: Mia.

When all the lights go out, a choice must be made. And someone is always left behind.

Inspired by a true life story.
