Lasting Ties | Part 2

Everyone agreed not to tell me.

Not because they didn't care, but because they believed forgetting was kinder than remembering.

They thought they were protecting me.
They thought silence was mercy.

What they didn't understand was this:
memory doesn't disappear.

It waits in the body. In the fear that arrives without reason. In the faces that feel familiar before the names do.

Five years ago, my life didn't end.

It fractured.

And this is where it ends.
