Electrick: The Inspiring Journey of a Young Survivor of Human Trafficking

THE SURVIVOR OF LIVING

By fidel ntuiPublished about a year ago 2 min read

The story follows Electra, a bright and resourceful 17-year-old with a passion for electronics, who is nicknamed "Electrick" by her friends due to her knack for fixing things. Growing up in a challenging environment, Electra always finds solace in her tinkering hobby, spending hours repairing old gadgets and creating small inventions.

One day, while attending a tech workshop in a neighbouring city, Electra is deceived by someone she trusted and becomes a victim of human trafficking. She is taken far from home, stripped of her belongings, and forced into a world she never imagined. However, Electra’s strong will and ingenuity spark a journey toward freedom.

The Fall

Electra's abduction is sudden and terrifying. She is held in a series of locations, each more isolating than the last. At first, she feels hopeless, drowning in despair. But Electra begins to notice small details in her surroundings that most would overlook. She starts mentally cataloguing the layout, observing routines, and piecing together information.

The Spark of Hope

One day, Electra finds a discarded, broken cell phone. Although it doesn’t work, it becomes her lifeline. Using bits of wire and scraps, she manages to repair it just enough to send a distress signal. Her tinkering skills reignite her fighting spirit, reminding her that she has the power to change her situation.

In the process, she meets another captive, Kara, a young woman who has been there for much longer. Together, they devise a plan. They communicate in code, drawing diagrams and crafting tools from whatever they can find. Through Electra’s creativity and Kara's knowledge of the guards' routines, they begin to prepare for escape.

The Escape

Their first attempt fails, but Electra and Kara refuse to give up. After months of planning and several setbacks, they finally manage to break free. Navigating their way through the dense city, they find shelter with a local aid organization that specializes in helping trafficking survivors.

A New Beginning

Electra is given a second chance, but the road to recovery is long and hard. She struggles with trauma, but she finds a new purpose in helping other survivors. She begins to volunteer at the aid organization, using her tech skills to create secure communication systems that help protect others from falling into similar situations.

In time, Electra starts her own organization, "Electrick Freedom," which combines her love for technology with a mission to combat human trafficking. She designs gadgets for undercover investigators, creates apps to help victims find help, and even inspires other survivors to share their stories.
