Dark Refuge

Dark Refuge came from an assignment we had, where you had to include certain words in your piece. As a result, I came up with a girl being trapped inside a bunker during a storm. It’s an exploration of survival, human vulnerability, and the rawness of the human spirit when pushed to its limits. I found I enjoyed writing the story because it’s not normally the style I write in. My piece pushes us to question what we truly rely on, and how we define ourselves when stripped of everything but the will to survive.

Creativity, to me, is the ability to transform thoughts, emotions, and experiences into something meaningful. It’s the art of seeing the world not just as it is, but as it could be.
