The fragments weren’t supposed to be seen.
But they’re leaking.
Exposure (pending) is my third book. My scream.
I am @samualwrites.bsky.social. I write the ruin and the rebirth.
Here I’ll share pieces—declassified memory, broken logs, stray prayers.

but it was a door
and i walked through
with pieces of you

Exposure (pending) is my third book.
The first was love. The second was fury.
This one? A breakdown made sacred. A redacted scream refusing silence.
I wrote it to survive.
I’m posting fragments so others might, too.
