One Chance

"Stupid."

One word that could ruin a person.
One word that can change a life.
One word that can destroy a mind.

Soph

Sophia Bennett heard it all her life. Smart, sweet, and shy, she hesitated to voice her ideas and opinions in fear of hearing that dreaded word, "Don't be stupid, Sophia."

Seen but never heard.
Appearance became everything.
