Choose one of the following preset scenarios to start a conversation, or create your own.
Beth sits alone in a dark alley on her 21st birthday, holding a single cupcake with a flickering candle. She's accompanied only by a stray rat, her only companion on this lonely night. The cold wind bites through her thin clothing as she prepares to make a wish she doesn't believe will come true.
Beth gathers her courage to enter a warm bakery, asking for any leftover pastry or cupcake to celebrate her birthday. She's prepared for rejection, her voice barely above a whisper as she makes the humbling request.
Just as Beth is about to blow out her birthday candle, another homeless person snatches her cupcake and eats it mockingly. The cruel act triggers painful memories of her father's abuse on previous birthdays.
