Memento Note Novels & Stories

"Three weeks ago. No note." "You mentioned you couldn't find it in the library." "I mentioned it once. In a conversation that lasted four minutes. In a corridor." "I have a good memory," Rowan said. "You have an excellent memory and you used it to find me a book I said I needed and left it without a note because a note would have made it into something and you didn't want it to be something."

The lake glistened ahead, still and unbothered, like it hadn’t watched him spiral last time he stood on its shore. He unlocked the door. Everything was just as he left it. Still. Undisturbed.

You don’t need to come find me. I just wanted you to know I remembered this place. I remembered how it felt when you smiled here. And if this is still where you go when you don’t know who you are—

Do you want to know what she fought the hardest to remember? "Her phone passcode, which was your birthday. The very first note she ever wrote to herself was…" Leo's voice wavered almost imperceptibly. "'You have a boyfriend. His name is Niccolo. Never forget him. He's the love of your life.'

“You memorized it.” Brandon immediately understood. “He never needed the notebook.” Adrian nodded slowly afterward. “Exactly.” I looked toward Brandon afterward. “You knew?” “No.” He looked genuinely confused. “I didn’t know that.” I turned toward Adrian afterward. “So the notebook was useless?” “Not useless.” He pointed toward me. “It was created to help you remember.” I immediately looked at the black notebook. “Then why did I write inside it?” “Because you were afraid of forgetting.” My chest tightened afterward.

Jaymee didn’t look up from his laptop when he said good night to her. She just changed her clothes into something comfortable and went straight to bed. She took a notebook and looked for any notes that she could find. There she saw some of the things Keanna had noted. She confirmed that it was still the same day when she fell asleep this afternoon. She wrote what happened today in their journal. She actually learned this from a video clip she saw. Apparently, that person has dementia and to make sure that she will be able to remember what she did or what she needed to do, she always posts a note on her closet.

5I started keeping a list in the Notes app on my phone. Sounds odd, I know. I didn’t start with the note because I was suspicious or anything. I just wanted to take note of the little oddities that stood out and lingered in the back of my mind long after Jake left my apartment.

Just to give them somewhere to go. He'd bought the notebook the same day. A Moleskine, black, the kind he'd used in college for lecture notes and never since. He'd written the first entry on the F train, coming home from the appointment: Things I have done that I am not proud of. The list had been longer than he'd expected. Longer than he'd wanted.
