Synopsis
The boy who remembers everything.
I heard she is finally going home today. The brain is very
powerful. Her mind is unable to handle the memories of what happened, so it
blocked it out. As I watch her, I envy her. I wish I could forget, just wipe
away all the ugly and the bad. I’m not as lucky as the pretty, lost girl.
I would gladly trade places with her. She has no idea how
good forgetting can be.
The girl who forgot everything.
I’m going home today. There is nothing the hospital can do
to help me remember the last three years. They say I was attacked, but I can't
help them find who it was. They say I'll eventually regain my memories but, it
takes time. What happens when you run out of time? Regaining my memory becomes
a deadly game of life or death.

Excerpt
Willow
Landon makes a grunting sound and I clench the phone
tighter. Details of his life slip out here and there. What I do know, I know
from observing him. Like how he prefers structure and routine. Always with a
set schedule and ordering the same coffee. I notice how he is either locked
inside his own head or watching everything around him with intense focus. There
is no middle ground with Landon.
"Come on," I plead. "Distract me."
"You are impossible to say to no to, woman. What you
want to know?"
I chew on my lip and consider the million questions floating
around in my head. I never ask them because I get the feeling he doesn't like
it. Plus, I know how it feels to be treated like a science experiment. He's
probably put up with it most of his life.
"Do you remember the first time you saw me?" I ask
and hold my breath.
"Yes."
"Tell me about it," I urge. I cross my ankles and
sit up. My body is tight with suspense. I can clearly remember our collision in
the hallway the day I left. I wanted to know how he saw it.
"You were sitting in your room. It was a Tuesday and it
was raining outside. You sat cross-legged on the bed, watching the rain run
down your window. You wore a pair of flannel pants and black tank top."
"Wow," I whisper. "Detailed."
"I heard that an amnesia patient had been admitted that
week," he continues, and I realize he saw me way before I saw him. "I
walked the halls, finding the new faces and trying to guess which one it would
be. I spend every day wishing that I could forget. I wanted to know what it was
like to have that ability. When I saw you, I knew you were the one they talked
about."
"How?"
"You looked so lost. You looked beautiful, but like you
were once full of light and it was stolen from you. I figure only someone who
lost something that they took for granted everyday would look like that. Maybe
it's not the blessing I thought it was."
I hum into the phone and sink back into the water.
"We're both cursed."
"Maybe we both needed to open our eyes," he
whispers, sending shivers down my body.
Ironic how we both found each other; I can only look forward
and he can only look back. I'm digging and searching for something bad that
happened to me whereas Landon is trying to forget it. Neither one of us can see
the world like the other, but I don't think there are two people who understand
each other better than we do.
