Memory

Some people say that being inside a memory is like a dream. To me, this could not be further from the truth. Being in a state of memory is so close to real life that only someone who has experienced it as often as I have can tell the difference. Navigating through a memory is like trying to find your way in a foreign city with no maps and where no one speaks your language. Escaping a memory is the most difficult part. Every memory will catch up to the present time eventually but for those living inside it, time moves at the same pace as the time you just left. Once you have caught up you find yourself exactly where you started. Getting lost in a memory so distant it might take you weeks to catch up is the most terrifying experience anyone could have. Very quickly you forget where reality really is and where you are. Your entire life could be changed by one different experience. I’m the only one I know of that has ever been able to delve not only into my own memories, but into others as well.
