<<<Chapter 1
The confusion of old and new memories affected Lola more than her
recently assigned status as a fugitive.
Trying to remember what had really happened to her versus what had
been planted in her mind prohibited her ability to think clearly. Hadn’t she
grown up here on Urial and put her career before any chance of a family? But
she also remembered growing up on Triwal, getting married just out of school
and having a son. Both felt real. Both felt right. Both tried to tell her they
were her real memories.
Lola shoved them back in her brain, not letting herself think of
the truth, or what could be the truth. Instead, she focused on running, because
that’s the only thing she could do to stay safe. If she stopped, if the PROBers
found her, both sets of memories would disappear and they would give her a
brand new set which would feel just as real and she would never know the difference.
So she kept moving.
Ever since Stela first awakened her from Pigrann she had been
running.
