My roommate was always saying, “Only those who endure hardship can rise above others.”
She preached “If there are no difficulties, make some” every day. She wouldn’t let me drink anything but water or wear makeup, and insisted I break up with my boyfriend.
My roommate egged me on to perform. As I danced, my shoulder strap slipped by accident, and everyone dragged me online until I was trending for all the wrong reasons.
When I confronted my roommate, she pushed me off the roof, killing me on the spot.
Only after I died did I discover she was a blogger with over a million followers,
livestreaming her “training her roommate” routine with me every day.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the first day of school.
