"She had been with him for months. He helped her get over a bad breakup with her ex, Miguel. Augustine would know what to do. She grabbed her phone and scrolled to his name. It wasn't there. But she knew his number. She dialed and a man answered, but it wasn't Augustine. He never heard of Augustine."
Lorena García Gordo posted online in 2008 that she woke to find her sheets, job, and entire life changed, including no record of her boyfriend Augustine despite months of memories.
