Triggered

Triggered is a fictional narrative that explores the protagonist's traumatic upbringing within a family bound by a rigid, abusive interpretation of religion, where spiritual gifts are demonized and abuse is disguised as divine discipline. The story highlights her search for belonging and truth outside her oppressive home, finding solace and a sense of self in the natural world, particularly the timber, which acts as a sanctuary and a source of ancient wisdom. Through her connection with the forest, recurring visions of a mysterious hooded woman, and interaction with a guiding figure named Kai, she begins to reclaim her true identity and inherent magical abilities, discovering a legacy of ancestral power and an alternative spiritual path that stands in stark contrast to her family's fearful teachings.
