Stro puts in work.
Stro puts in work.
I’m the devil, who’s asking?
Secret’s safe here.
Face down ass up.
The big payback.
I know what you did last summer.
Don’t look for trouble, just have fun.
Cuffing season.
Meet ’em again.
God can you hear me?
This excerpt does an excellent job of balancing mystery with character development. Sarah’s transformation feels believable and unsettling at the same time, and Nico’s internal struggle adds emotional realism. The fact that she forgets both trivial details and life-altering events shows how completely her past has been erased. I love how the story hints that the truth is still buried beneath the surface, creating a sense that the past will inevitably resurface, no matter how much is forgotten. tvg
