📖 A chance at rewriting her future means forgetting her past—but some memories won’t stay buried. #dystopian #NA #SF #Speculative #Q #D #BluePit #querying

✨ Dark academia
✨ Found Family
✨ Slow Burn
✨ Overreaching Government
✨ Dual POV
A black screen with star dust that has the title “the amnesis initiative” with a lead flower symbol above it A black screen with star dust that has “pitch” at the top and reads: Pitch: prisoners trade their memories for a second chance—only to discover their new life in a reformatory school may be more dangerous than the past they forgot A black screen with stardust that says: First lines The electric cuffs burned against my wrists, humming with quiet menace. Each step across the courtroom floor sent a spike of nausea through me. The room was empty—no jury, no audience. Just myself, two guards, and the judge who sat behind a polished podium like she’d been waiting her entire life to ruin mine. A collage of 9 photos: top left is someone’s eye looking through a keyhole, middle top is a girl crying into the shoulder of a boy with blood on her face, top right is a castle shadowed by fog, middle left is a person in the hospital, middle center is a dining hall in a big facility decorated and pretty, middle left is 6 people standing together in an alley, bottom left is three people running, bottom middle is someone getting a needle stuck in their neck, bottom right is a girl sitting in a room on a bed with her hair in a bun looking sad

📖 Quote that sets everything into motion:The Amnesis Initiative #Q #R #Dystopian #SF #BluePit

“The goal is to see what kind of person you become without those memories. Will you still end up here in front of me, or will you turn out better? That’s the question they’re trying to answer.” - The Judge

I’m going to keep saying it until it happens:

My writing will be the reason my house gets paid off.

My writing will be the reason why I won’t have to work a 9-5 the rest of my life.

My writing will be the reason why I can finally know how it feels to live comfortable in this lifetime.

The Amnesis Initiative 📖

In a world where memory tampering is offered as a path to redemption, one prisoner questioning her identity and her Regulator must unravel the truth about the Citadel before it consumes them both #NA #SF #R #Dystopian #BluePit #Speculative #Q #Querying
A collage of eight photos: the first in the top right says people can do worse things than kill you. The second is a set of 4 medical tubes with liquid in them. The third top is bloody medical tools in a bin. The middle left is a puddle of blood on the floor. The bottom left is bottles of liquid spray bottles that say spray to forget the bottom middle is two girls laying in the back of a truck bed smiling at each other and the bottom right is a map that says as long as we don’t die this is gonna be one hell of a story

Queer feminist Dexter x Flowers in the Attic

Megan’s already trying to avoid the heat for what happened to her girlfriend’s husband back in San Francisco, and now she has to help her incompetent new brother clean up his crime—because that’s what family is for, probably.

In a world where memory tampering is offered as a path to redemption, Briar Blake & Finn Price—one a prisoner questioning her identity, the other her Regulator unraveling the truth—must confront the dark reality behind the Citadel’s walls before it consumes them both. #amquerying
