The Woman Who Forgot Her Own Name
The first thing she always noticed was the light. Every morning, it spilled through the thin curtains in her small bedroom, painting golden streaks on the walls. Every morning, she blinked awake, stretched her fingers, and whispered a quiet good morning—to no one in particular. Every morning, she remembered everything: the way her coffee tasted, the street she lived on, her favorite song, even her neighbor’s cat’s name—Buttons.

Chalet of Bloody Corpses
The five hikers had stopped for some quick skinny dipping. Helga had started it, claiming to have forgotten her swimsuit, but Chad had given the idea wings as he stripped down. He hit Charlie with his underpants, challenging the normally shy young man into the water as the more adventurous boy dove into the water. Helga grinned as Charlie quickly stripped and swam out to Chad, while Melissa stayed on shore. Thomas, always a victim of peer pressure, joined the other three. Melissa took some cajoling, but she eventually gave in, putting her cowboy hat on her clothes before diving in.
