The Cure

The Cure

They told her the procedure would change things. They used the word "better." She signed the forms and believed them because what else do you do when every other option is gone.

It worked. By every measurable standard — she is better. The pain is managed. The episodes stopped. The person who showed up to the follow-up appointments smiled at the right moments and answered the questions correctly.

She just isn't sure that person is her. And she isn't sure who to tell.

The Cure is part of The Chianti Chronicles — fiction set inside the SYNTHESIS universe. Full story available to Sovereign Threshold members.
