The first sensation is silk—a chilling, liquid smoothness against my skin. I lie swallowed by a vast bed hung with deep velvet, morning’s gold bleeding through tall, arched windows. These hands resting on the coverlet, pale and perfectly kept, are not my own.

Now the choice is mine: do I let this story consume me, or do I take the pen and rewrite it all?
