They say you don't remember a lot from when you are young. That all you have are feelings and emotions. But I know that isn't true. I remember my mother's touch, the tender way she held me. I remember the urgency in her eyes, the sound of her terrified screams piercing the air. I remember her last words and the men dragging her away. My name is Sephora Baxter and this is the story of how one night changed my life forever. What do you do when everything you know about your life isn't real?

"I starved myself but I never died. I have no idea how I survived that long without food. The floors I slept on where of moldy brick and sometimes a rat would curl up to my neck. I stopped caring. The warmth kept me sane." I took a deep breath and continued. "The worst part was not knowing. Not knowing what happened to my team. Not knowing happened to my city. I couldn't do anything but stare out the tiny slit of light from under the door. That was my life, that light. I didn't know what time of day it was but that light told me I was still alive. Without it would be darkness." I hear her shift in her chair but stay with my eyes closed. "I think the only thing that kept me going was the pain. It sounds strange but I loved feeling it. It made me feel alive, I still had something. It was the only thing that kept me thinking I wasn't one of the rats. Pain, I realized, was worth it. Because the pain reminded me that I was breathing and awake. And that maybe one day if I ever got out that maybe that pain would go away."
