In the end, the image froze on the girl’s tragic death. She died with her eyes wide open, her face pale, every feature screaming with hatred and regret. And then, Hailey saw the face.

Hailey’s breath caught as realization struck her. She thought, “That… is me!‘

The memories kept flooding in, more vivid now–memories not just of herself, but of Selena and a man. The two of them grinned smugly in front of her, while she stood there, helpless and broken.
