A Heart To Remember

Zaria hasn’t opened her locket. It’s only been two days since she last saw any others and since the appearance of the hearts. August 25th, 2025. That was the last time things were close to normal. Every time you flipped through a channel the news broadcasted the hearts that appeared overnight. Every person in the world had a locket placed around their necks, almost like a curse that was impossible to break away from. There was no way to pry this off and so many others died trying.
