If I Remember Correctly Novels & Stories

Like I wasn’t just looking at her… But remembering her. And that would be insane. Right?

“That would work too. Job well done. Job well done. Now, can you tell me if you were able to touch anything?” “I’m touching the wall, I guess?” “Perfect! Now, try to remember where the switch is placed? You’ve been living in that same room for six months. Can you still remember it?” I paused for a few seconds to think, considering I couldn’t see a thing. “On the wall?” I replied hesitatingly. “Exactly! Now, I want you to find the switch using your hands. Can you still remember where it could be?” “How am I supposed to fucking remember that? It’s been ten years since the last time I stepped foot into this room!”

“So that’s two ways?” i tried to lighten the situation, it was wrong of me to look into the darkness when I had been warned, but that voice I had no idea why but it became an itch at the back of my head I just couldn’t scratch, remembering had never been a problem to me, I just thought of it and the memory floated right back up but this time, I just couldn’t remember much and it was driving me crazy.

We did not just jump one another, as I hear so often happens when mates meet. I hope it was nothing I had done. Not remembering was frustrating but even after my recent conversation with Doctor Rivers, he encouraged me to let my memory come back naturally and to stop stressing over it.

The more I try to remember, the more I forget,and the aches in my head got even worse every time I try. I could overhear Aiden telling the doctor, I can't remember anything, I wasn't much interested in their conversation, it was obvious I lost my memory,I don't even know who I am. "What is his name Aiden?" I asked. "He doesn't have a name yet,we wanted you to give him one" he said, walking towards me as the doctor and nurse took their leave. "He is so handsome," I said. "What about me mama?" Raymond asked. "Oh Ray,you are also handsome" I chuckled.

“Even if you never remember, it doesn’t matter. We can start over. We can be a family again.” I stepped back, out of their reach. “You’ve misunderstood. My memory is perfectly intact. I remember each of you. I remember everything.”

My fingers caressed the colored notes in my hands and the familiar feeling of longing overwhelmed me. FLASHBACK NARRATIVE ~16 years ago~ *Aidan's Elementary School* A little boy ran into the class of about fifteen kids. "Y'all!" He called the attention of his mates. "I heard 'boo hoo' couldn't get his fees paid. Boo-hoo!" He went to stand in front of a petite boy of around the same age as himself, blocking the little boy's view and taking his books from him.

"Not brown." "I'll remember." "You remember everything." "Yes," I say. "I do." She looks up.
