Even though it had been two years since it happened, people couldn’t forget how bad my injuries were. And, as luck would have it,

When the police started calling them in for questioning, they finally freaked out and started blowing up my phone. When I didn’t
pick up, they tried everything–WhatsApp, emails, showing up at places I might be, even begging mutual friends to reach out to
- me.
