Evening incident / PART 1

Steph was an ordinary mid-level employee. Her days blurred together in a routine—work, rare trips to the coast with her boyfriend, evenings in front of the TV. Everything changed in an instant.

During a sale at a small shop of exotic curiosities, she came across an unusual vial filled with a purple liquid. The shop owner insisted it was a miraculous elixir, capable of changing one’s life. Steph merely smirked, deciding it was just another trick to sell her some herbal concoction.
