I stumbled back. My revolver felt like a toy. This was not hysteria. This was a contagion of memory—a psychic parasite that lived in the shared trauma of the street. Lipa Street had absorbed so many deaths, so many last thoughts, that it had developed a kind of consciousness . And it was hungry for new stories. The man from Lejla’s diary appeared behind me.
