Memories Fade

Nova Riveby can't sleep most nights. She is afraid of her past and afraid if she closes her eyes, she will relive her very worst memories. She spends her nights reading books in the Dystopian genre. She wishes she were strong and brave like the characters in the books; but her past is pulling her back. It's been a little over a week since the last time she slept. Her life flashes across her eyes . The good fading into the more frequent bad. She finally passes out from exhaustion at her sleep deprivation. She goes into a deep sleep. She has a choice: be strong as she's always wanted for the past 6 years and forgive herself, or, live with pain and regret of the mistakes she's made in the past.
