Memory Like A Steel Trap Novels & Stories

I'm sure you asking how we trained using steel, well to answer your question, the gym equipment we used was designed specifically to ensure the safety of our kind. "One, two,..." Damon counted with each repetition fueling my confused emotions about the sudden memory loss of my twins. What was going on with the twins' memories??? How was I going to know more about them if they suddenly had memory loss??? The heavy clank of metal against metal echoed in the empty solitude of the gym. As I lifted, I could feel the beast within me grow stronger, urging me to push myself harder. "Okay, enough, let's skip rope," Damon suggested and I agreed.

Steel's paralyzed body, that kept on lying helplessly on the bed. "Why? and who did this, I have no idea of, nor what the bastard gained by pushing a middle age woman down the stairs ruthlessly. Oblivious of everything, I actually seemed to be the one in the dark, and it hurts like hell to know nothing and to try and put the puzzles together even though nothing was making any sense. The fucking shit hurts. Repeating to my frustrated self, I mumbled out as I glanced at Mrs. steel one last time. "The famous designer must hate being in this cramp as well"

Her voice drew me out of my internal rant. "I'm a quick learner, kind of similar to a photographic memory if I see something enough times and concentrate hard enough. It's not always that easy, though. Usually never that easy. I mean, I can remember any recipe after I cooked it once and I graduated top of my class from Rice University, but I never tried any type of fighting, so I didn't know it would happen. Plus, I told him I had it, and I asked him not to get mad, but I should have known he would because technically, he never actually said he wouldn't, I just assumed and—"

I mused. "You will not be able to remember her if I am no longer in control," The other me said with a smile. It was making lesser and lesser sense. "Hey, do not blame me, Stephy boy, that was the deal you made, and besides, dearast mother belongs to the painful part of your mind, so you only get to see her in here, you can not take her with you, your fucked up memory is holding that hostage," He told me further. I had to admit. This was fucked up in ways that I could not fathom. The mansion shook as if an earthquake was occurring and I struggled to stay on my feet. The other me seemed used to it that he stood fearless with a bored expression.

I asked, my grip tightening on Clayton’s hand. "Because science has done its part," the doctor said gently. "The 'muscle memory' was the bridge. Now, you have to be the one to walk across it. The reason your mind 'resets' isn't just a biological glitch, Zia. It's a massive psychological defense mechanism. Your brain is trying to protect you from the trauma of the accident's—the day you lost your parents and then the day you lost your brother."

"If I’m still alive, then it can’t be that bad!” Aunt laughed and said, "Summer, you're going to live a very long life!" The surgery had gone really well. The doctor said I might lose some memories, but I still recognized everyone I had seen so far. Even though I sometimes felt like I had forgotten some things, I did not really want to remember them anyway. In fact, I thought forgetting might make me even happier. Once I was out of danger, I moved to a regular room. With Aunt looking after me, I started feeling better really fast.

Elira was on her side, tablet lowered to its faintest glow, reading a review form from the education task force. Caelan stretched out behind her, one hand around her waist, thumb drawing slow curves. "I think Clause Twenty-Six might be my favorite," she said. "The one about repair?" "No. The one that states memory is an infrastructure as well." He was silent for a very long time. Then: "Because it tells us what to retain." Her fingers intertwined with his. "Exactly." And in the silence afterwards, memory came to rest around them—not as encumbrance, but as plan.

I continued softly, “and for a while, I forgot he was even there. It frightened me. And then, just yesterday, I went to the kitchen to get water. When I reached there, I forgot why I came.” I twisted my fingers together on my lap, ashamed to say it out loud. The doctor leaned back slightly, his expression thoughtful. “Have you been stressed lately? Thinking too much? Feeling fear often? Or perhaps… experiencing some sort of mental breakdown?” I lowered my eyes. “Yes. I’ve been going through a lot these past weeks. It’s been draining me.” He nodded slowly. “That explains some things. What you’re describing is memory loss, often triggered by severe stress, trauma, or mental strain.”

"I'm not a good example." "You weren't a good example, but you're a great one now. You're building your business, you're patient with her, you attend her piano lessons when you have no fucking clue what the hell it is she's doing there, you carved a pumpkin with her, and took her to your shop. Whether you know it or not, you're giving her the one thing money can't, Trick, and that's memories. Neither me nor her want anything more than your time and the ability to be in your life. None of that has to do with what you've done in the past."

My body started heating up again. Mabel was still talking about her achievements during this trip. I responded absent-mindedly; she seemed to notice this on the other end of the line. So, she concluded, "You'll know what a prize I've found when we get back to work on Monday." After hanging up, my mind was overwhelmed by thoughts of the roses and the odd sensation Jeremy had made me feel. I patted my cheeks and told myself to calm down. … My business trip lasted another two days. Throughout that time, I attended various gatherings and seriously kept an eye out for potential streamers. Finally, I discovered one who looked like he would do well.
