A Non-existant Past

"..."

It wasn't an unusual request. In fact, it was logically the first question that one would ask upon meeting someone new. It wasn't the words themselves that gave her such a feeling of emptiness and discomfort, it was the answer.

"Dahlia"

It didn't feel quite right, but it was the only thing in her mind.

She tried digging a little deeper, to see if there was anything else that could be her name when a rush of memories swept over her and she realized what had happened that night.

She buried her face into her rescuer's chest and began sobbing.

A small bundle of flowers clutched tightly to her chest.
