The email notification popped up, the words blurring as her vision swam. "Due to unforeseen circumstances..." The lies! She could practically taste the deceit, a bitter tang in the back of her throat. This was not unforeseen. This was negligence, mismanagement, a deliberate disregard for the students’ lives.

She felt a fiery heat in her chest, a burning that spread outwards, making her skin prickle. She ripped the flyer from the noticeboard, crumpling it into a tight ball in her fist, feeling the paper dig into her palm.

Her fists clenched as she thought of all the promises, the dreams, now dissolving into nothingness. She had to do something, anything, to stop this, to fight back against this… this travesty. She would write letters, she would organize, she would scream until her voice was raw.
