Suppressed Memories
Trapped in a decade-long amnesia, Dr. Kioni Turner helps others navigate their minds, yet her own past remains a terrifying void. Every night, a recurring nightmare of flashing lights and screeching tires hints at the forgotten accident that stole her memories. Meanwhile, Detective James Pega is haunted by the same incident, driven by a ten-year-old mystery and a lost bracelet. When their paths finally cross, a shocking revelation about Kioni’s past emerges, threatening to unravel not just their lives, but a truth far more dangerous than either could imagine. Can they piece together the fragments of a shattered past before it consumes them both?The city lights blurred into streaks as Kioni Turner ran, her lungs burning, each frantic step a desperate plea for escape. Fear was a cold, sharp claw in her chest, a primal instinct overriding the exhaustion that threatened to buckle her knees. Just a few more blocks, Ki. Don't let them catch you. You are not a runner, but today you run. The mantra echoed in her mind, a frantic drumbeat to her pounding heart.
Then, a sudden, jarring impact. A soft "BANG!" and she stumbled, colliding with a solid form. "I’m sorry!" she gasped, her breath ragged, eyes darting back over her shoulder. A silhouette, tall and menacing, was drawing closer, a dark promise of capture. There was no time to explain, no time to apologize. With a desperate surge of adrenaline, she pulled away, her only thought to flee. But as she broke free, a glint of metal caught her eye. Her bracelet. It slipped, falling silently to the unforgiving pavement.
She looked back, a fatal hesitation. Suddenly, blinding lights erupted, consuming her vision. The deafening blare of a truck horn ripped through the night, a monstrous roar growing impossibly loud. No time to scream, no time to move. Her hands flew up, a futile shield against the inevitable. Then, nothing but darkness.
