Retention

Angie Dannel was an author everyone was watching. At the top of the Bestseller's List and an impressive online presence. She was a sweet heart that was beloved by her friends and colleagues. Someone several young English majors hoped would be their guest lecturer. She was at the top of her game when she received a strange email. An email asking, "Angelica, is that you?" Something that opened opened Pandora's Box. Something that had to be corrected. ---- She chewed on her lower lip and pinched her skin. This couldn’t be real. She shouldn’t be standing in this room. She doesn’t belong in the bedroom of her fictional character or her past self whichever it was. The sharp stab of pain from her arms caused tears to prick her eyes and reality to settle in a bit more. She was no longer Angie. She was Angelica again.
