The Girl Behind the Glass

By Apurva Kishore Shinde

Elena Vale thought remembering her father's disappearance was the hardest truth she'd ever face. She was wrong. Strapped to a bed in a room she doesn't recognize, a woman wakes with no name, no past, and a stranger's voice behind the glass telling her she's been here before. The only thing she's certain of is a word that isn't hers: Elena. When Elena finds her, behind glass, in a facility that shouldn't exist, she expects answers. Instead she gets a photograph of two six-year-old girls marked Eva and Anna, a warning never to let them remember each other, and a scream that follows her out into the rain: Don't trust the memory. What unravels from there tears through everything Elena thought she knew. Adrian, the one person she's trusted since this nightmare began, has six missing months of his own, and a photograph proving he was standing in the blue room as a child, holding the hand of a sister who supposedly died in a fire seventeen years ago. Project Seven, it turns out, was never destroyed. It simply went looking for its next generation of subjects, and Elena's memories, stitched from fragments that were never hers to begin with, may be the only thing holding the truth together. As the line between Elena and the girl she's spent her life mourning starts to disappear, one question becomes impossible to escape: if her memories were built to replace someone else's, whose life has she actually been living?
