Fade in the View

By Stephanie Adaugo Chiedo

"There are no exit wounds on first impact in this story, Papa."

It is 1989. A father is forced to reckon with a brutal world his own daughter has survived and perhaps helped create.

After being committed to a prestigious "gifted" institution for disturbed youths, Thuli begins a haunting, novel-length letter to her father. Recruited into an "obedient program," she is trained to infiltrate the outside world and weaponize doubt, methodically convincing others they are losing their minds until they ask for help.

As the institution turns uncertainty into a tool of absolute control, Thuli becomes both subject and observer-a parasite learning to survive by mastering the rules of her own erasure.

With every page she writes, the distance between memory and manipulation grows thinner, forcing her to question whether her father's role in her placement was protection or something far more calculated.

And if she has been trained to weaponize doubt, how much of the letter in your hands can you believe?
