Our family has been deeply impacted by a beloved family member’s dementia. Watching an incredibly capable woman lose her memory and knowledge has been deeply painful.
To me, it’s been like watching her universe shrink, one memory at a time.
With that in mind, I wrote this short story about the impact that memory loss has on the people around the one affected and the importance of what family and friends do during and after this immense loss.
An unforgettable journey into what binds us together. And what breaks us apart.
Origin. A small planet at the center of the galaxy.
Brown sands. Azure lakes. Lavender fields.
Every sentient being travels here. Not to see the beauty. They come for something infinitely more important.
They come for the Woman of Origin…
…an aging being whose tiring memory has far-reaching and disastrous consequences.
This fascinating and poignant soft sci-fi short story reveals the fundamental and universal impact of memory loss on any person or family, present or future.
