 Forgotten Memories (Part 7)

After countless hours of tests and scans, Jeremy sits in a hospital bed, in a dull room, even more confused as to what was happening than before. Laying still in bed and not knowing what else to do, he repeated the words he now knew in his head. No new flashes, no new memories, all he had is what he had already been given. The small snippets of information were not enough, they meant nothing.

The woman in the ambulance, he wished she was there, she was helping, she made more memories appear, but now there was no one. He sat alone in that room, an occasional visit from a nurse bringing food, but aside from that there was no human contact. 

He began to look around the room, seeing if anything around would trigger a memory… 

Nothing. Jeremy began to grow frustrated, he didn’t even fully understand the feeling, but the anger grew. He just wanted to know more, he just wanted to remember. 

As the hours passed by, Jeremy’s eyes began to feel heavy. He struggled so hard to keep them open, not knowing why they insisted on being shut. Eventually tiredness overtook him and he fell asleep. 

In his dreams he could see the memories, he was dancing with Raina, her long flowy sleeves swaying around as her arms gracefully flew through the air. But then the dream turned to a new memory, one he had not seen before.

Raina stops dancing and turns to Jeremy, “You know Jeremy, I also like to blend in wherever I go, I don’t appreciate being noticed,” she said with a slight passive aggressive tone.

Jeremy is slightly put off by the comment, “Well you were doing a pretty good job of blending in. If Martin hadn’t brought you over I don’t know if I would have even seen you.”

Raina smirks, “Yes, sadly your friend noticed my eyes on you.”

“You could have ignored him, you know, and just continued on with your night.”

“Let’s just say he was quite relentless when it came to talking with me,” she replied, annoyed.

“I’m sorry he caused you so much trouble, but hey, we have been having fun right, so I guess it was a good thing?”

Raina smiles for a second before wiping all emotion from her face, “A moment of weakness. I’ll admit it has been enjoyable but it was a mistake nonetheless. I like to observe but not participate, stick to the shadows, never joining the game.”

Jeremy becomes scared by her words, her seriousness and lack of emotion. “If you want to go, you can just go, or I’ll leave if you’d like,” he offers, wanting to escape the situation in any way possible. 

“That won’t be enough. I require more.”

8/26/22 Musical Footsteps

  Musical Footsteps One day as he walked, a musical note began to play. With each step a new note, always complimenting the one before. There was no piano, just his stride, creating a beautiful melody for all to hear. He didn’t know why the music played, but he enjoyed it nonetheless. It sounded so familiar to him, but he could never quite place where he had heard it before. When passersby would ask what song it was, he would simply tell them it was the song from his heart. The song never repeated itself, it was one long continuous melody, the never-ending song. He could never predict what it would be like, everyday was a mystery, one he enjoyed solving. As he walked and found the current rhythm of the song, he would time his footsteps as best he could to make it sound nice. That was all the control he had, tempo. Sometimes he would jump in the air, and as he landed two notes came together as a chord. Continuous jumping, although tiring, made the song even better. At firs...

11/26/22 The Girl in the Horse Painting

  The Girl in the Horse Painting “Oh man have you seen that one painting, the one with the horse, on that blue background.” “Yeah! Oh my gosh that painting is so good. I’m actually looking to get a print of it to hang in my house.” “That would look so good in your living room, or anywhere really.” “I know, it’s such a good painting it could go anywhere really and make the room better!” “Have you ever noticed the girl in the background? I never had until someone pointed it out to me and then I couldn’t stop looking at her.” “There is a girl in the background?” “I know right. I was shocked too, but yeah, there is. When you get that print you’ll have to look for her.” “I guess I will. Wow, that's amazing. I’ve looked at that painting a thousand times and never even noticed the girl. You think the artist intended it to be that way?” “He must have. I’m sure he did it for this very reason, for people to be astounded by the fact they never saw the girl.” “Goes to show ...

4/24/22 Carried by the Breeze

  Carried by the Breeze She stood in the breeze, arms stretched out wide. “Take me away,” she said, and the wind complied with her request. It picked her up off the earth and carried her through the sky and clouds.  Although a wondrous view passed by below her, she just closed her eyes and floated with the wind. The sight could be replicated but this feeling would never be again. She did nothing but float, feeling the breeze run through her hair, trying to capture it in her hands. Hours went by and she enjoyed every moment, but the chill of the sky began to wear into her, she was ready to go down. The wind however had different plans, it was not ready to let her go. Her assumption of being a friend to the wind changed as she realized she was prisoner to it. Struggling against air, she tried to point herself downwards and break free. Her thoughts were not on the fall, only of wanting to be free.  After fighting and struggling as hard as she could, the air became im...
