A Future Memory
written by: Sue Marie St. Lee
Crystallized fragments of futile memories from the last milliseconds of life, before the Humans were evaporated into oblivion, have become my makeshift bed. I lie restless, attempting to sleep upon the secret unpardonable sin of having read one of those memories.
Pulling it from under my wing, I place it in my pouch where it will be safe. It tingles. It is not dead. This minuscule memory survived despite the absence of Humans. How?
Unless… because of me? I read its last flicker of hope. I absorb it into my essence.
It is my memory now, forever.
