Sixteen Stitches

She remembers the pain.
She remembers the water.
She remembers the sixteen stitches carved into her skin.

But she doesn't remember who put her there.

Returning to the town she once fled, old scars begin to open and secrets crawl back to the surface. The boy everyone blames is still there...colder, quieter, and watching her like he never stopped.

Then the messages start.
The footsteps in the dark.
The feeling of being followed wherever she goes.

Someone has been waiting for her return.
Someone knows what happened that night.
And someone is willing to destroy her before the truth comes out.

Some wounds heal.
Some are buried.
Some come back for revenge.
