A Mashup Of Memories นิยาย & เรื่องราว

"You said you couldn't remember Anna's specific traits. Can you access those memories now? After separating from collective?" Petrov closed her eyes, clearly struggling. "I remember... I remember she likes drawing. Horses specifically. She draws horses constantly. Wants to be veterinarian. And she's stubborn. Incredibly stubborn. Argues with me about bedtime every single night. Those memories are returning. Slowly. They're not gone. Just... suppressed while I was collective-merged."

My parents shrank under the stares, their proud expression fading into stiff, pale faces. Suddenly, Audrey's eyes widened, as if she'd just thought of a way out. She jabbed her finger at the screen, shouting, "That woman in the video isn't me! "I have a twin sister—her name's Aurora. She's the one in that footage!"

The word was a hammer blow to my psyche. THIS MEMORY IS TAINTED, the voice accused, growing darker, the lightning around it turning red. IT IS COLORED BY LIES. THE WITCH HAS SEWN THE SEEDS OF DECEIT INTO YOUR PAST. THIS IS NOT YOUR MEMORY. IT IS HERS. I gasped, stumbling back. The image of the meadow twisted. The sun dimmed. The gold turned to rust. Remy’s face... for a split second, it wasn't Remy. It was a mask. The laughter sounded tinny, recorded.

Sometimes small things come back out of nowhere. That’s a good sign. It means that your memory is coming back.”

Yet, even in the midst of this contentment, Andy remained haunted by fragments of memory—fleeting flashes of Mayla’s laughter, the brush of her hand against his, the warmth of a shared moment that could not be recaptured. He kept these memories close, private, allowing them to linger like fragile ghosts at the edges of his mind.

The air was thick with anticipation, as if the walls themselves held countless untold stories. I approached the reception desk, where a young woman with piercing blue eyes and an enigmatic smile greeted me. Her name tag read "Lena." "Welcome to Memoria," she said, her voice soft yet confident. "How may I assist you today?" "I... I've heard that you can erase memories," I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper. "Is it true?" Lena nodded, her gaze unwavering. "Yes, it's true. Memoria specializes in memory alteration. We help individuals who seek to escape the pain of their past, to start anew."

But as they hit the atmosphere, they didn't burn up.

The technician paused before continuing, "According to brainwave theory, the retrieved memories are from the host's deepest and unforgettable recollections…" Before he could finish, the giant screen started to vibrate violently with a sharp screech of the electrical current, and an indescribable pain pierced my soul! It felt like numerous steel needles were stabbing deep inside me and stirring madly within. I curled up into a ball from the pain but could not make a sound. When the pain finally ended, the screeching from the electrical current stopped,

A storm of memory descended—flashes of lives unlived, loves lost, betrayals hidden, oaths whispered in dying tongues. Serena saw:

I waited for her. "Hey my sugarplum. How was school. Since we didn't see each other that much today. Only at lunchhhh". She whined. "It was boring". I said We went into her car and drove off. Then there was this old song. Our favorite song. 'Love is wicked'. It was our old favorite song. We sang. 'Tears on my pillow cuz your love is wicked'. 'Cry me a river cuz your love is wicked'.....
