"Which is the true nightmare, the horrific dream that you have in your sleep or the dissatisfied reality that awaits you when you awake?" -Justin Alcala. Every night Penelope woke up at the same time, in a cold sweat, gasping for air and panicking about the same thing... the night he left her, the way he left her, and the loneliness she felt knowing he was gone. He didn't leave her by choice; He was taken from her... and part of her woke from the nightmares hoping and praying that what she was dreaming was fake, and that she would wake up to him next to him... but that never happened. He had been erased from society and she didn't know what to do next to try and bring him back... Penelope craves answers and will stop at nothing to get them. Will she find what she's looking for? Will she uncover the secret trails and clues he left her so she could find him? Will she ever feel whole again? Is she strong enough to withstand the secrets he left behind? Or will she continue to live her life in misery without the one person she needs the most?
