 Forgotten Memories (Part 8)

Jeremy sits up in a cold sweat, breathing heavy from the memory he had just seen in his dream. 

“Well he is sleeping right now but if you’d like,” the nurse stops as she notices Jeremy bolt awake, “Oh nevermind, it looks like Mr. Paine has just woken up.”

Jeremy looks over and sees Sarah standing next to the nurse. She gives him a smile and a small wave.

“Well I will leave you two be, call if you need anything,” the nurse says as she leaves the room.

Sarah walks over to Jeremy’s bedside, “Hey, remember me?”

Jeremy smiles, mimicking the one she gave him just moments ago. She takes that as a sign that he recognizes her.

“Have any new memories pop up while you’ve been here?” Sarah asks. Jeremy gives no response as English is still elusive to him. “Right, right, sorry. The party, and Raina?” she asks the question with the tone of her voice. 

“Dancing, Raina, mistake, stick to the shadows, require more,” Jeremy responds, repeating phrases he heard in his dream. 

Sarah quickly tries to piece together what the words mean. She attempts to fill in his sentence, “Dancing with Raina was a mistake? You should have stuck to the shadows because you require more?”

“Raina, stick to shadows, require more,” somehow from the memories, he was able to gain somewhat of an understanding of what he was saying. Slowly his memory and knowledge of the English language was returning to him, many words were missing, but it was a huge step in the right direction. 

“Raina sticks to the shadows? She required more?” Jeremy stared at Sarah blankly. “Umm, Yes,” she said, nodding her head up and down, with a smile on her face, “No,” she said, nodding her head side to side with a frown, attempting to teach Jeremy these responses.

Jeremy smiled, and slightly nodded his head up and down.

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...
