|THIS IS A TRUE STORY · SHORTYS 2026|

Victoria Christie is on her way to Maine to visit her parents and escape the looming psychology exam. Still, when she unexpectedly stumbles into American Horror Story The Second, she must learn to give up or stand up for herself.

***

All Victoria Christie wanted was a smooth flight to Bangor and five fun days with her parents, escaping a psychology exam and finding out if she's on the spectrum (not to mention her crappy Math skills and self-confidence, too). However, as soon as she's on that 8:20 flight to Charlotte, her problems begin piling up one by one. 

Now Victoria must find a way to escape American Horror Story The Second before it devours her and sends her ashes to Maine, where she will never have the chance to learn true self-confidence.

As Victoria works through her anxiety and uncertainty, she'll learn that beneath her flaws, she may have one skill that could get her to Maine. Now she must figure out the best time to use it before she's stuck in Charlotte forever.
