Before waking up in a hospital, what 20 year-old Julia remembered was she could not breathe as a result of a crowd crush. It should have been a fascinating event but turned into a tragedy.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, it had been a long time since Julia attended any festival with her friends. Not surprisingly, it was crowded. However, what they did not expect was being stuck in an alley, which they barely knew its name. The crowd crush was out of control, so Julia could barely breathe or move. The more she was trapped there, the more she panicked. It seemed that she even witnessed a woman lost consciousness beside her. Julia felt like death was near but did not know what to do.

Luckily, Julia survived. She was very grateful but also felt devastated about those people who had passed away in this disaster. She knew she would be prohibited from going any crowd event by her parents for a while. In fact, this misfortune cast a long shadow over her mind. She would probably not dare join any festival for years even if her parents would not stop her. Once bitten, twice shy.
