Unravel

Through a narrator that divulges neither name nor gender, a story unfolds that is founded in a sobering truth: a story doesn't need magic or heroes to be important. The narrator takes the reader on a journey through their memories, telling the truth that they were never able to speak in order to protect themselves. All set in a college counsellor's office, the narrator describes what it's like growing up with an alcoholic mother, being outcast by your peers, the confusion of gender identity, and the effect it all has on who they are today. Unravel is the story of a young adult trying to make sense of their own mind and who is trying to find a reason to keep living even though their mind begs for death; bringing to light the fact that there's nothing poetic about suicide and that this story could be about anyone. Even you.
