CHAPTER 3 – The Hospital Went Silent
The lights died all at once.
The heart monitor beside Emily kept beeping, but the hallway outside her room fell into a terrifying darkness.
Emily clutched the flash drive in her fist.

The nurse grabbed a wheelchair.
“My name is Grace,” she said. “And your husband paid a surgeon to make sure you never woke up with your memory.”
