Ashes of a Fairy Tale

ADITI_GHOSH
Adriti Roy grew up believing her life was something close to a fairy tale— a loving family, a safe home, and a father she trusted more than anyone. But fairy tales don’t always last. What once felt warm and complete slowly turns into something unfamiliar— a house filled with arguments, silence, and things no one wants to admit out loud. The people she once felt closest to begin to feel like strangers, and the word “home” loses its meaning. At just thirteen, Adriti finds herself standing in the middle of it all— trying to hold her little sister’s world together while her own quietly falls apart. Because when a fairy tale burns, it doesn’t disappear completely— it leaves behind ashes… and the people who have to learn how to live in them.
