 Forgotten Memories (Part 9)

Excited by his understanding of yes and no, Sarah pushes on with her questions. “Did Raina make you lose your memory?” Jeremy’s eyes twitch as another memory plays through his head. 

“Before the night is over, you will lose your memory and forget you ever met me.” Raina lets out a short little laugh, “Actually, you won't remember anything at all. Even better!”

Jeremy doesn’t even say anything, he tries to run away from the crazy woman in front of him. Raina grabs his arm and injects him with a clear liquid.

“I would run home Jeremy, soon you won’t know where home is,” she whispers in his ear.

Jeremy snaps back, “Raina, lose memory,” he nods his head up and down.

“Do you know where we can find Raina? No you don’t know how to respond to that,” she thinks out loud. “Um, Raina, Club, Name?” Another memory flashes in Jeremy’s mind. 

As Jeremy is stumbling out of the club, he turns around to ensure Raina isn’t following him. The neon sign of the club appears in his memory. The words “Club Echo” flash in bright blue and pink lights.

“Club Echo,” Jeremy says, surprising himself. This was the first time he was able to say words that had not already been spoken to him.

“Club Echo?” Sarah repeats. Jeremy nods his head yes. Sarah immediately pulls out her phone and looks up the club. It is not too far away from the hospital. She was so ready to head to the club before she realized she had no idea what Raina looked like. 

“Jeremy,” she says softly, “Can you tell me what Raina looks like?” She is not hopeful that she will get an answer. Her doubts come true as Jeremy stares blankly at her. An idea pops in her head. Sarah once again pulls out her phone. She looks up pictures of women of different skin tones. Going through them she has Jeremy nod yes or no to each one. 

As she reaches a picture of a dark skinned woman with curly black hair, Jeremy nods his head yes. “Ok, now her clothes,” she says and she points to her own clothes. She starts showing Jeremy different colors on her phone. When she pulls up a black swatch Jeremy nods yes.

“I’m going to find her Jeremy, I will make her fix you.” With a very loose description of Raina, and knowing it’s the best she’s gonna get, Sarah leaves for Club Echo.

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...
