But the only person who believes him is his twin sister. He knows he'd never hurt anyone, least of all her. Seventeen-year-old bisexual teen boy Asher remembers nothing from the night in 1968 that the police found him covered in his girlfriend's blood. Poirier's After You Died is a paranormal thriller loosely based on true events. The confrontation that follows forces Mariam to confront her past as a victim and decide who she really is, once and for all. Angry and obsessed, he begins planning his revenge. Also in attendance is Tareq, miraculously still alive, who had assumed his wife was killed in the invasion decades before. In an attempt to put her past to rest, she attends an event commemorating the anniversary of the invasion at the Kuwaiti embassy. Twenty-five years later, Mariam is still living under the identity of Raj's Indian wife in the US. Leaving her husband Tareq for dead, she crosses the border and is evacuated with the help of Raj, who she meets at a refugee camp and suggests she assume the identity of his dead wife so she can be issued Indian papers. In Guha's Sirens of Memory, Mariam is pregnant and fleeing an abusive marriage as the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait begins.
