Moderate Amnesia

That's a frightening feeling, you know. Losing that memory. Split second glimpse before it's lost in muck. Your brain feeds you a snippet of words, a feeling, an idea, and it floats there, glimmering just out of reach. Your eyes shift to the side, momentarily distracted, and the idea just - disappears. Gone. Then you reach backwards, trying to recall, recollect, but you're met with emptiness. There is nothing to be found.
