The Last Conversation

by Paul Tremblay

First published 2019

You open your eyes in a strange room. Your mind is blank. You cannot recall your name, your past, or how you arrived here. Only one voice reaches you through the confusion: Dr. Kuhn, your caretaker. She speaks with calm authority, promising to guide you back to yourself. She will help you recover physically. She will support you emotionally. She will restore your psychological wholeness. Dr. Kuhn assures you that she can return everything you have lost. Your memories will come back. Your identity will be yours again. But as her treatment continues, a terrible question emerges. Some truths might be better left buried. Some identities might be too dangerous to reclaim. The choice becomes yours: live in the safety of ignorance or face the horror of who you really are.
