 Forgotten Memories (Part 4)

Sirens blare as the ambulance pulls around the cul-de-sac and stops next to Jeremy and Dave. Jeremy stares at the flashing lights in awe, mesmerized by the colors. A memory flashes. He is in a room surrounded by lots of people. They are all dancing as flashing lights move around the room. He is dancing with them next to a girl with a tight black dress with long flowing sleeves. 

“Sir, SIR? Hello? Can you hear me sir?” the medic asks.

“Hey Jeremy you there?” Dave says, snapping his fingers in Jeremy’s face.

Jeremy rapidly blinks as the memory passes. He stares blankly at the woman in front of him, shining a light in his face.

The medic turns to Dave, “Has he spoken to you at all?”

“Very little, only one word answers, and it was always words that I had said, like he was copying me, trying to learn the language.”

“And he is fluent in English, correct?” the medic asks.

“Yes. I’ve known him for three years, he definitely speaks english.”

“Do you know what might have caused his sudden memory loss?”

“All I know is last night, he told me he was going to a party and then this morning, I found him walking backwards out of his house and he was like this.”

“Thank you sir,” the medic returns her attention to Jeremy. “Jeremy?” the medic says, looking straight into his eyes. Jeremy reacts slightly, recognizing that that word is referring to him. “Jeremy, can you tell me anything about what happened last night?”

He continued his blank stare, not understanding the words that left her mouth. His stomach began to rumble, it startled Jeremy. It rumbled again but louder. Dave and the medic watched as he clenched his stomach.

“Are you hungry Jeremy? Would you like some food?” the medic asks.

“Food?” Jeremy questions.

The medic goes to the ambulance and pulls out some sort of protein bar. She opens it and shows it to him. “Food, you eat it,” she says as she breaks a piece off and places it in her mouth.

Jeremy grabs the bar and places a piece in his mouth as well, mimicking the medic. The medic begins to slowly chew and swallow as Jeremy follows her actions. Getting the idea he finishes the protein bar, and the uncomfortable feeling in his stomach disappears.

The medic looks at Dave, “Sir thank you very much for calling. Given the state of Mr. Paine, I feel it is necessary that we take him to the hospital right away so we can run some tests to try and figure out what is going on.”

“Alright. Will you keep me updated on how he’s doing?”

“Of course sir, what would be the best number for us to contact you at?”

Dave gives the medic his number before she and her partners load Jeremy into the back of the ambulance.

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...
