Avenir is French for future.
It's my absolute favorite word really.
Anyways. I digress.
I am Alice's conscience, and while I'd love to say that Alice didn't mean to delete the past, I cannot. Because then I'd be lying.
I don't like lying. Nasty stuff.
So. I'll tell you what actually happened.
Alice came home, weary, doubtful and hopeful. She sat down at the table in her kitchen, sunlight shining blissfully through the windows behind her.
Clearing myself I said to her, "Alice. Let's face it. He's left you. But life goes on." I then walked into the kitchen, extracted a pint of ice cream and a spoon, and placed them curtly in front of her on the table. She stared at them for a moment before bursting into a wave of soppy, emotional tears. After the 1st wave of remorse pulled itself in and away from the sand, Alice walked solemnly to her room and desparingly put on her PJ's. She then returned to the kitchen and promptly began crying and eating the ice cream.
Feeling a mixture of stupidity, shame, anger and grief, I explained, "You knew this would happen Alice. And yet you went for it. Why is it that you always fall for the players and/or beautiful liars? You are such an idiot Alice. What are you going to do, eh?"
Alice then replied, voice scratchy, "I don't know. I don't know. I don't."
Fast forward a week later.
Ah, the tissue mauled beauty that is heartbreak.
Alice somberly sat on her couch.
With a blanket.
And, her laptop.
In this moment, she made a horrible, world altering wish.
She wished that the past didn't exist. She wished that she had never met her ex.
After Alice had murmured these words somewhere in between hiccups and a few escaping tears, she decided to change her Facebook bio.
"Oh, how lovely." We thought. "He's replaced me already. With some tiny pixie chic named Saphine."
"Don't think about it." I told her. "Don't."
"I'll try." Was her weak reply.
Entering her bio, she placed her fingers on the keyboard.
And pressed
delete.
I know what you must think. "OH MY GOSH SHE CLICKED DELETE?! Wowie. Havn't we all? "
But.
When she pressed it.
It.
Deleted.
The.
Whole.
Past.
Everything, gone!
Imagine how many scientist's careers were just ruined!!!!
The horror!!
Now we will never truly truly know if we are descendants of flea infested monkeys or scaly, water breathing fish!
Anyways. Alice hit delete. And suddenly, she couldn't even remember what she had just done. She forgot everything every single time she did something!
Now Alice and I are in peril.
But, there's nothing we can do!
Because
we can't remember anything!!!
Well, actually, Alice can't remember anything.
I got thrown out into some weird floating place of nothingness because my normal job is to help her make decisions and etc.. but with no memories....
You get the idea.
Now the human race is decaying, because such extravagant memory loss even affects common logic. And people are forgetting to breath and blink.
Thus ends this story.
Sadly.
