The Memory Eater

There’s a place that doesn’t erase your past. It just removes what it does to you. The hesitation. The guilt. The weight of a single moment you can’t undo. After that, everything becomes easier. Clearer. More controlled. Until you start noticing something strange. Not in what you remember. but in what those memories say about you. Because the more stable your life becomes… the more it feels like something important is no longer yours to carry. -- [Part of a series of self-contained stories.]
