Chapter 1: The Letter

People think quiet people have nothing to say. well, they're wrong. We stay silent because we've learnt that words can be dangerous.

My name is Maya.

In school, they call me "The Ghost." Teachers forget I'm in class. Classmates only remember me when they need answers during exams. Even my own parents can spend an entire day in the same house without asking if I'm okay.

I got used to it. Or at least, I thought I had.

Until the day I found a letter on my desk.

It wasn't addressed to anyone.

It had only one sentence.

"I know what happened the night your brother disappeared."

My hands began to shake. Because my brother didn't disappear. Everyone believes he died three years ago.

Everyone…

Except me.
