Call of the Void. Life is a Story - story.one

A future medical student is just one exam away from admission and a glorious future. At the last moment, she rashly skips the exam and remains on the train to an unfamiliar city. What follows is an existential crisis. Having lost her life's purpose, she is left disoriented, until she meets the strange Mr Feathers. Mysterious, wise, and not entirely real, he offers her a new goal: to find the city centre. Desperate for meaning, she throws herself into the search. Along the way, Mr Feathers introduces her to his peculiar philosophy, that insists meaning must be made, not found, and that an authentic life is everything. Even when her destination turns out to be a dead-end and she is confronted with the void, he helps her find the freedom she's been searching for all along. Call of the Void is a quiet, existential journey through inner collapse and renewal, a story about liberation and self-discovery, and a profound affirmation of life.

Autorentext
"Bin ich nicht längst Maschine, renne nur noch?"Written on my protagonist's arm, this sentence came to me during an automatic writing session and never left. It became the spark that inspired Call of the Void. Feeling caught in the treadmill of expectations and endless goals myself, I wanted to write about a woman who refuses to function, and in doing so, challenges her fate.Born in 2007 in the canton of Berne, Switzerland, I've been reading and writing for as long as I can remember. Stories have always felt essential to my sense of purpose. After winning a national writing contest, writing became something I truly wanted to pursue. I had to learn the hard way how excessive ambition can ruin a passion. With Call of the Void, I hope to remind myself (and others) of the importance of living on our own terms, chasing only our own dreams, and enjoying and trusting the process.
