I wanted to confront her, to raise my voice and demand an explanation for her audacity, but when I tried to speak, my voice betrayed me. It was as if my throat had suddenly become a barren desert, devoid of any sound. Panic welled up inside me as I frantically clutched at my throat, desperately trying to make sense of this sudden loss of voice. Tears streamed down my cheeks, betraying the turmoil that raged within me. How could I express my thoughts and feelings when I couldn't even find the words to do so?

My breath comes in harsh bursts as I try to calm down to know where I am. "Shit, I'm lost." I say to myself. I turn to retrace my steps, panic beginning to nibble at the edges of my confidence, when I hear it. “Madeline…” I freeze. The voice is soft and melodic. I call out. “Who’s there?” No answer.

“I feel like peace.” She walked onto the stage with no music, no announcement. Just silence—thick, reverent, real. She took a breath so deep it felt like a release. And then, softly, but with unshakable power, she spoke. “When I began writing this book, I thought I was chronicling pain. Betrayal. The bare bones of survival.

Coming from everywhere and nowhere. "You know where you are," a voice says. I spin around but don't see nobody. Just more twisted trees. "Who's there?" "You know who I am." The voice comes from the trees. Like the trees themselves are talking. "I don't know nothing."

The water washed over my face, mixing with the tears I didn’t even realize were still falling. My hands trembled as I touched my throat. Nothing, just silence. I opened my mouth slowly. Nothing came out. Just air. My chest tightened. I pressed my hand harder against my throat like I could force a sound out. Like something would come back if I tried hard enough. Nothing. I shut my eyes tight, shaking my head. No. No… I hit the wall lightly, frustrated. This couldn’t be my life, not like this. Not without my voice. Not here.

This time, we're going to make those scumbags regret everything they've ever done!"

Victoria had listened to the recording seventeen times in the past two hours, memorizing every word and trying every possible best to identify the voice as every word kept playing repeatedly in her head. Victoria's heart missed a beat each time she heard that last line "We need a voice analyst," King said. He'd been making calls for the past hour. "Someone who can identify the voice." "I know who it is," Uche said quietly from the door entrance . Everyone turned to look at him. "You know?" Victoria screamed. "How?"

My voice betrays me. Fuck.
