Read “The Scar” by Leteka Phillip Leteka—a poetic and unflinching reflection on a moment that refuses to remain in the past.
What begins as an ordinary afternoon in a Fayetteville parking lot unfolds into something far more enduring: an encounter shaped not only by fear, but by language. A single phrase—“sort of”—lingers, stretches, and settles into the body as a scar that cannot be seen, only felt.
Told with striking clarity and haunting restraint, The Scar explores how identity can be misread in an instant, and how such moments echo far beyond themselves—into memory, into history, into the quiet choreography of everyday life.
This is not only a story of what happened, but of what remains.
