She looks fine. But sometimes, the ones who smile the most are the ones falling apart inside. Fatimah Muhammad Hotoro hides her pain behind calm eyes and quiet laughter. But when the world goes still, her thoughts grow loud-dark, heavy, and merciless. "What right do you have to feel this way?" they whisper. "Others have it worse." Yet the ache doesn't fade. It lingers-deep, familiar, and unexplainable. She's spent years trying to outrun her past, but the shadows always find her. Something broke her long ago, something she never speaks of. And now, as the line between survival and surrender blurs, Fatimah must face the truth she's buried for far too long. What happened to her? And will she ever find peace-or will the darkness finally win? A haunting story of pain, silence, and the fragile hope that healing is still possible.
