LOSER-SPIRAL. That’s a phrase I coined one day as I listed my woes to a friend: school stress, lack of romance, family issues. One thing goes wrong, and suddenly, everything is wrong. What took me out of this spiral was simply confiding in my friend.

This is where the impulse to tell this story came from. Camille is on a loser-spiral, leading her to crash a funeral. Through a chance encounter, Camille is forced to realize her loneliness is self-inflicted. I hope Camille’s journey validates anyone who has ever loser-spiraled and motivates them to escape their spiral–before crashing a funeral.
