Ellie Carter has never met the man who calls himself her husband, doesn’t recognize the girl who calls her mother, and can’t remember the life she is told is her own. Afflicted by violent seizures that reset her memory without warning, she is trapped in a cyclical nightmare, struggling to uncover the horrifying truth of her existence—before she forgets it all over again.

“This story is deeply personal to me, it encompasses love, identity, and the grieving process. When I was six, I witnessed my father’s passing - a moment forever etched in my mind. It abruptly unveiled the harsh reality that anyone dear to me, no matter how close, could be torn away without warning, leaving me utterly powerless to do anything about it. ...Affection has given me the opportunity to create a story that infuses my emotions and childhood memories into a sci-fi horror narrative.” says BT Meza.
