Come home with me. I'll promise you anything." The sight of him made my skin crawl, and my body reacted on its own. I screamed and sat back. I grabbed the mug on the table and hurled it at him. "Don't touch me! Get away from me!" The doctor said I had dissociative amnesia. It was the brain's defense mechanism in response to traumatic events. My memories became clean, simple, yet logical.
My father passed away from illness. And I was never married or had any kids. I feared the sea, quaked at the sight of it.
