Tide of Lies

By Chassidy Slocum

The Coastal Lights Festival in Santa Cruz promises escape-music, moonlight, and a chance to forget everything else for one night.
For Maya Bennett, the Full Moon Surf Experience feels like the perfect way to disappear into the moment.
Until the tide turns.
Dark water. Burning lungs. A sudden pull beneath the surface. Then nothing.
Maya wakes up a week later on an airplane with no memory of where she's been or what happened while she was gone.
No timeline. No explanations. Only bruises she can't place, flashes of salt and light, and the sense that something about her life no longer fits.
With no memories to rely on and no clear answers, Maya is left with only fragments and instincts.
Every step forward forces her to question what's real, what's missing, and what someone worked very hard to hide.
Because that week didn't vanish.
It was erased.
