Memory Tax

What is the most painful memory you have?Now imagine you could sell it.Erase the grief. The trauma. The shame.And get paid for it.Welcome to the Mnemosyne Exchange.Elias Thorne was drowning in debt until he found them. He sold a small, forgettable memory—and for a moment, he was free.Then the silence started.First, an echo.Then a voice.Then something… watching.He is no longer just Elias.He is a library of stolen lives—carrying the grief of a mother who lost a child, the obsession of a master craftsman, the terror of a boy who saw something in the waves.These aren't just memories.They're scars.And they're beginning to overwrite him.Worse… he's starting to want them.The pride.The love.The lives he never lived.He is becoming something else. Something shared. Something… occupied.And the ones who sold those memories?They want them back.
