Fog


A short paragraph about someone dealing with memory loss.

There is a fog over me. I cannot remember anything. I cannot see anything past this thick haze. This is maddening! Why can't I remember anything! I try, day and night, to reach out of this haze, to break free. I surround myself with photographs, books, anything to help me break free. 

I hear people's whispers. I know they know me. Yet their faces are blank. I could no less know them than I could know a total stranger. 

Everytime that I think I remember something, it slips away like a tissue to the wind. The wind of time, of love, of loss. 

It is like an ocean. With every fall of the waves I loose more and more hope. 

It is like a cage. I know only the present, not the past, not the future. 

I am trapped. 

I..Must..Break...FREE!
