About this submission

Moments after Thalia is sexually assaulted by someone she called a friend, she spends the afternoon with her best friend, Willa. The two drive around trying to figure out their plans for the night. Thalia silently processes what happened to her through a series of flashbacks that become more overwhelming with time. A ghost of herself, Thalia, watches the world pass by from the passenger seat. The world she once knew looks completely different to her now.
