Author’s Note:
Welcome to The Mind’s Alibi. This story was born from a fascination with memory—how it can define us, deceive us, and sometimes leave us questioning reality itself. Memory shapes who we are, but what happens when memories can be altered, erased, or even planted? What truths might be lost in the void?
In this novel, we follow Zahara, a woman caught between fragments of her own life and chilling secrets left behind by others. A simple touch unearths secrets she was never meant to know, but as Zahara dives deeper, the mystery becomes more than a quest for answers; it becomes a struggle for survival.
I’m still learning as a writer, and you might come across a few typos or grammar slips along the way. Please bear with me—I hope the twists and suspense will make up for any little stumbles. I’d like to apologize in advance if some scenes or language make you uncomfortable; this story dives into dark territory and doesn’t shy away from the gritty details of fear, betrayal, and loss.
As a Cebuano writer, you’ll see Cebu woven into the setting; it’s a place that feels as rich in secrets as it is in beauty. I hope you enjoy the journey as we uncover what lies hidden in The Mind’s Alibi. Thank you for reading, and remember: nothing is ever just as it seems.
