Imagination Flashback Novels & Stories

FLASHBACK Brett struggled with a recurring memory which he couldn't forget no matter how hard he tried. He saw a negative vision of that night at the club. There was the silhouette of a slender person who approached him, and they had a short laugh. He could hear her voice echoing in the abyss and her enthusiastic tone, but he couldn't remember who she was. He remembered the sound of her moans, her sudden fright and his soft hands sliding down her bare skin. He remembered the coolness of the air conditioner and the intensity of their sex, but that was it! He couldn't remember any other thing; not her name or her face.

He turned back to meet my gaze. I winced. “She’s out but should be back soon.” “Alright. Make sure you tell her everything I just said,” he replied, packing up his things. That fragments kept popping up. “Doctor, is it possible to have flashes of an image that aren't clear or identifiable?” He turns in his tracks to meet my gaze. “Yes, of course. That's great news and obviously a miracle that you can capture flashes.” His face lit up with excitement. “It means everything is going perfectly. You will continue to have flashes that come and go. They are fragments of your lost memories gradually resurfacing,” he replied, his tone filled with joy.

Like she hated him for something, some old grudge. I thought back on the flashback I had. I had thought I'd remember something when I had seen those snow globes, but when I couldn't remember anything, I had felt so disappointed. I shouldn't have. Seeing those flashbacks weren't all helpful. A feeling of dread always settled inside me knowing that I did that all and I don't remember it. Maybe they aren't flashbacks. Of course, they could be my mind playing tricks on me. I just wanted to believe they were real memories. At least I would have something to look forward to.

It doesn’t ask me to forget what we survived. It asks me to remember it accurately. The season of endurance is behind us now—not erased, not minimized, just complete enough to loosen its grip. The urgency has softened. The constant bracing has eased. And in the quiet that follows, something unfamiliar begins to surface. Imagination. Not fantasy. Not projection. But vision. We don’t talk about it right away. There’s an unspoken respect between us, like we’re both aware that imagination is fragile in its early stages. Push it too hard, and it fractures. Rush it, and it turns defensive.

--- Flashback: Memories of Another Life Broken Prior to Birth A flashback occurred suddenly and violently and produced a wave of pain and discomfort similar to opening an old wound. This flashback occurred from another lifetime, one that helped shape Shylie into the person she is today, but nearly broke her. She was once again sixteen years old, trapped inside a van, feeling the chill of metal below her and pressed tightly against her eyes by the coarse material of a blindfold making it difficult for her to determine any direction. The world outside faded away to become consumed by the overwhelming darkness of fear.

I started getting flashbacks of last night. I remembered how I was all over them, kissing them one by one, and how I wanted them to serve me. I remembered how Lily was brought in, and how I refused to go with her, forcing them to serve me using my forgiveness as the price. How could I decide to forgive them just because we all had sex? Am I completely losing my mind? Why are the images of everything we did together flashing through my mind? My cheeks felt so hot, and everywhere in the room also felt uncomfortable. How can I remember scenes like that? I don't want to remember anything about this, but it's hard for me.

There was a pause on the other end, and I could almost picture the worry in his eyes. "Do you want to talk about it?" I hesitated, the memories of the nightmare still vivid in my mind. "It was..." I sniffled, wiping my face as I sat on the edge of the tub leaning towards the toilet, and tried to breathe. "I... I had a flashback earlier. I-I didn't think anything of it, but it was... it was so much worse in the dream. I kept trying to run but I couldn't get anywhere..." I sniffled. "I couldn't..."

My finger right by the trigger, ready to fire the bullet, ready to kill him, end him, remove him from our lives like he never existed. But my mind was playing tricks on me because my eyes didn't see the monster; My eyes saw someone else. They saw that little defenseless boy. For a flash of a second, I pinched my eyes shut, not ready to face the outcome of my action, but in that second, a memory flashed in my head, the same one I am sure he just remembered. **FLASHBACK**

I feel myself drowning because of these cavities of really strong emotions affecting me and confusing me as to why I am feeling this way towards this man named Harry Scott and how he affects me too much easily. Visions. Too many of them, one after another kept playing right in front of me as my heart continues to maim. The images played like a short film in my head and there were too many special memories that I was seeing which aren’t only vivid but absolutely unmistakably clear. It was too frightening and shocking as I see them one by one. Everything played like it was on fast forward from the beginning to the end. I see one flashback after another and another and more as it makes me feel
