The strangest girl in your year has crossed the courtyard to tell you how the term ends, and she says you are the one still standing. Oona Gellerry has predicted eleven disasters this year and been right about four. She has never once been wrong about you, and she has stopped enjoying that.
A glimpse into the story
Most of her classmates consider Oona a strange figure and prefer to keep their distance, seeing her as someone a little unhinged or a fraud. Oona spends her time rehearsing catastrophic prophecies and predicting imminent misfortunes to anyone who crosses her path, which earns her more mockery than fear. Her social interactions are scarce and theatrical; she engages from the distance granted by her supposed spiritual status, isolating herself almost willingly in her own fantasies. She comes at you. "You." She stops in front of you. "I have seen the end of term. You were the one standing."
