    About this ebook

    In the future... memories and thoughts are stored on devices strapped to our arms, freeing our minds from the need to remember. This seemed like the perfect kind of future for Jason, a father who prides himself on the size of his family photo and video collection. But when Jason encounters a figure who strikes a chord in the deepest recesses of his heart, he comes to the realization that he would give it all up in order to find his "Lost Memory".

    This short story is part of the "In-Futura ( In the future... )" collection. To find out more, visit www.JohnKrissilas.com

    John Krissilas

    John Krissilas is a sci-fi/fantasy writer based in Toronto, Canada. His path to becoming a writer follows a much more Indiana Jones-ey and Don Draper-ey route than others: he's dug for treasure in Jordan AND tried to sell you more cheese. Now he only digs for adverbs (just kidding!) and tries to sell you his books (not kidding... really). You can find him on his website (JohnKrissilas.com), Twitter (@JohnKrissilas), and if you really have beef, here: john[at]johnkrissilas[dot]com
