As clear as a berry

Author's name: Hadeer Kouka

A husband, a child, and a home overflowing with warmth; this is how the world appeared to Reem when she opened her eyes to a life she was told was her life.

But behind this fragile reassurance, the darkness was deeper than blindness, harsher than the memory gap left by a mysterious incident that brought her back to life, her past severed. In her nights, a bloody nightmare creeps in, images shatter, and the screams of a murder rise, leaving her unsure whether it is a delusion or a belated confession from a memory that refuses to die.

With every throb of fear, her certainty cracks: Is she a prisoner of a sick dream, or a witness to a truth buried by shock? And between the question and the answer, the truth begins to demand its price.
