ADA ANI (THE AWAKENING)
By Andrea Ciobanu
Tormented by constant nightmares about drowning, Ada cannot sleep through the night and is even now terrified by the thought of getting into a bathtub. After constant persuasion from her flatmate, she finally agrees to see someone – a “guide” – about her condition. This is where things start to get weird. Her therapist seems to be more than he appears to be, and Ada seems to have walked into anything but a therapy session. She is taken into a world of Gods and mythical events where the past, present, and future are just bumps on a never-ending line. In the end, Ada learns more about herself and comes to accept her destiny. She awakens a new woman, a changed person, and a Goddess in her own right.
