Second Chance at Immortality

I don’t remember him. But when I wake up after a hundred years of darkness, he’s the first thing I see. A man with storm-colored eyes and a voice that trembles when he says my name. He tells me I loved him once. That we were everything to each other. But how could that be true when the very sight of me fills him with both longing and unspeakable pain? He calls me Ana. Says I was human once, that I belonged to him, but something went wrong. That I was taken. That I was turned into this thing that can’t feel warmth, that craves what it shouldn’t. And now I must remember. I must fight against what I’ve become before I lose myself forever. But the more time I spend with him, the more I realize—somewhere deep inside, I still know him. His touch lingers in a place my memories cannot reach. His whispered words unlock something raw and aching. But there are secrets between us. Ones he refuses to tell. And as fragments of the past start slipping through, I begin to wonder… Did I love him, or did I destroy him? And if I remember everything—will he still look at me like I’m the love of his life, or the monster who ended it?
