“I repeat, OBSERVE ONLY! don’t touch or talk to anyone!”

Inspired by #hemingway fuelled by #coffee #writing #timetravle #attre (at Taranaki - like no other)

You know in those time travel shows or even in like a SciFi or horror movie, when there's a person, and they're there. But no one remembers them. They've been there all along but they don't have a place in the memory. And if someone asked you wouldn't be able to tell them a thing about that person... just that they might have been present. No name no face, possibly a gender... But they're just not there. And its scary to think that someone so important would be forgotten, weather its a loved one or the murderer... Its really scary, and in some cases sad. But the thing is... This sort of horror isn't too unrealistic. It happens all the time. Do you remember the waiter you had last time you went out to eat. Or that kid you wen to high school with. Or your young childhood friend? They're just faint shadows now aren't they. They're not even important to you now. And then there are other things, things that make you forget, weather you put up a block, or an illness or age take you. Its all too easy to come by. I don't really know the point of me writing this. It's probably depressed or even scared you. And I don't want that. It was just something that came into my mind. I hope I'd didn't upset you. I think my main point is... Even though its scuttle... and it took this long to realize it. I think as humans we're really afraid of forgetting, of not knowing things, of being in the dark.... To put it shortly, the unknown, and we always have been. We've always been afraid of what we can't control, and memory... Is something that give us surety. And having that security manipulated... Is really scary.
