Courtney Collins created a deep story about reincarnation—how we keep finding our soulmates despite distance and time, with all the intricacies of fate and human connections that remain just as complex as in past eras.
Long ago there was a girl named Ptakha who often stared at the river near her house. She understood that this river separated the life she was meant to live from the life she dreamed of. On one bank waited duties, duty, and an unhappy marriage arranged by her ruined father. On the other—freedom and maybe happiness with a boy she’d known since childhood.
In our time, too, a girl named Ptakha lived. Her mother didn’t give her attention, and she spent a lot of time alone, drawing in her sketchbook images of people who seemed familiar to her. She desperately searched for her path in this complicated world, ready to pay any price for finding her way.
