Synopsis
Remember to forget is a four-page script of a story with a human twist in a dystopic, sci-fi setting. It is open-ended, allowing greater engagement and emotional investment by the reader. The Protagonist, an unnamed young alien has been up all night reflecting on his life. He is part of a race of intergalactic warriors who treat their atrocities casually and haphazardly. This bizarreness stems from the fact that each day, after they are done with the horrors of their conquest, they are submitted to a process which simply wipes out parts of their daily memories and experiences (their negative emotions and any sedimentary and residual conscience they might have left regarding what they have done). It is something which in the long-term leaves everyone devoid of empathy and realization. This perpetual tuning up has the protagonist wondering, “What’s worse? The fact that we are harming others or ignoring that we have harmed others?”
