The gentle rocking of the hammock was a lullaby, and the sound of the ocean, a soft hum in her ear. Emily closed her eyes, letting the sun warm her skin. The tropical air was thick with the scent of plumeria, and a gentle breeze swayed the palm trees overhead. She felt a world away from the stresses of her daily life, safe and secure in this paradise.

Her phone pinged. A message from her aunt, a link to some online content. Emily clicked, with an awareness of unease. A biography of her life had been published.

She began to read, her eyebrows lifting slightly as the narrative unfolded. The author had captured details she had long forgotten. She paused and took a long breath. She closed the browser. She turned over in her hammock, and closed her eyes.
