SOMEONE HAS BEEN INSIDE YOUR LIFE.
AND THEY LEFT YOUR OWN HANDWRITING BEHIND.
Everything in the narrator's apartment is exactly as it should be. The books are color-arranged. The surfaces are clean. The therapist is calm. The medication is waiting on the counter.
But there is a note on the pillow. In the narrator's handwriting. And the note says: If you're reading this, they've started over.
A man on the street below has been waiting. He says they were in love before the reset — before the people who built the narrator's curated life decided that the person the narrator used to be was too volatile, too bright, too much to be allowed to exist. He has evidence: photographs, journals, a ring the narrator doesn't remember buying and can't bring themselves to take off.
The therapist says he is the danger. The notes warn against trusting him. The program says the narrator is recovering.
But recovering means becoming someone smaller. Safer. Someone else's version of acceptable.
And underneath the curated life, something is still burning.
Don't Forget Me is a razor-edged psychological thriller about the self they tried to erase — and the love that kept finding its way back.
Genre: Mystery
