Shin Amnesia Novels & Stories

Then he looked at his Dad “D-dad.” “Thank God you remember me.” “Kuya. What about me?” This time it was Gravity “Gravity.” He called “W-What happened to me? why is that, why do I remember so little. I can't remember everything?” I cried, he can’t remember. He can only remember little “Kuya do you remember her?” Gravity pointed me to his brother “Answer me!” “Don’t shout Grav..” I said “I-I don't I’m sorry... who are you?” He looked at me

I felt my left hand being snapped back into place and winced without crying and Adam squeezed my hand giving me the strength to hold back from crying out in pain. I tried to focus again on the shadow but the image disappeared and I began looking around searching for the memory. It was as if the memory had disappeared and all the memories that were flashing were fading away. I didn’t know what was happening because it was as if they were being erased all over again.

~~PEYTON~~ Odin came home a couple of days later, and honestly, the whole thing felt like a low-budget movie scene. No fanfare, just a nurse handing over a bag of his things and a doctor giving me a very weird talk in the hallway. Dr. Evans pulled me aside and said, "It's not your typical amnesia, like in the movies where they wake up and don't know who they are. He remembers everything: his name, his family, his job, even his childhood. It's more... selective. We call it dissociative amnesia."

In most cases, you still have the memories but can’t access them. Her kind of amnesia would be retrograde dissociative amnesia, and this affects finding old memories. It’s like a glitch or error that would keep her from accessing or checking out a specific memory. People with dissociative amnesia do not realize they have gaps in their memory, and that is exactly what I’m hoping for. This can last until memory loss affects part of their sense of identity or if someone brings up or asks something a person knows they should remember but can’t.

My condition had stabilized somewhat, but I could still feel the weight of confusion pressing down on me. The doctor nodded cautiously, as he read from some papers that his assistant had produced. “The data we’ve collected is quite vast,” he said in a rather detached way but without impatience. Then, he faced me and said, “It is perhaps the physical shock during the accident led to localized amnesia to areas in the brain that is associated with short term memory. This may be owing to a concussion or a more severe brain injury.” I frowned, frustrated by the gaps in my mind. “But I remember most things clearly. Why is it that only some memories are missing?”

"Amnesia? Like in those cheesy 90s soap operas where the rich heiress forgets her cheating fiancé and falls in love with the pool boy?" "Better," I hissed, a wicked grin spreading across my face. "Like the kind of amnesia that keeps Aaron Adams completely off my back for the rest of the semester. If I don't remember him,he can't corner me in lecture halls, and he certainly can't shove his hands up my skirt while the professor is writing formulas on the board!"

"No, I wouldn't. Daddy only likes the bad lady. He lets her bully you, and he kicked you out of the bedroom and forced you to be a nanny. "If he really lost his memory, then how can he remember such a big company and all those complicated social connections but forget only you, Mommy?" That was right. Ambrose claimed he had amnesia, yet he hadn't forgotten his company or all the people in his network. The only thing he'd conveniently forgotten was me. I'd been in the business world for years and had seen all kinds of tricks, yet I'd actually fallen for such a shallow lie. I clenched my teeth and laughed at my own stupidity.

“I guess I should thank him for that.” Valencia looks at me like she doesn’t know what to think of me. “How…interesting.” She murmurs. “But you’re healed from the ordeal, aren’t you?” Is it wrong that I am enjoying this a little? “Kinda. I got a little amnesia now.” I chirp. “Amnesia?” She chokes. “Yeah. I forget Theon and Dr. Haeger when it rains because the bears screwed with my head with a magic room of doom. Oh, and I also see phantoms when I forget Theon. We call them my episodes.”

He was the only reason her sister was still in the hospital and had not been thrown out on the streets to die. “How are you doing, Mia?” he asked her like he usually did over the past year. He always made sure to know the mental health of his patient's guardian before he broke more bad news to them. Mia responded in her usual manner… a small “fine,” and would directly go into asking about her sister. “Well, she happens to have what we call selective amnesia. You see, Mia, she remembers most things from her past, but some others seem to be none existent in her memory,” he said.

I winced and pressed a palm on my forehead, my throat was suddenly feeling dry. “You said I had lost my memories, but I remember Alaric, Laziel, I remember everyone. The only thing I can't remember is how I got here and…” I blinked, tilting my head to the side. That's weird. There were gaps in the memories that I had. “You have selective amnesia. Your brain has chosen to forget the most traumatic moments of your life because of what had happened to you. You might be able to regain them slowly but sometimes, there are rare cases where the memory disappears completely.” The doctor informed me.
