This is a way for me to try and get out of my comfort zone a little bit by sharing something I know a lot about. (Probably because I made it up lmao)
Forget Me Not (FMN) is a psychological thriller set place in a sci-fi world, not too far into the future.
Im gonna explain the logistics because they wont be explained in the first book (it focuses on the first person perspective so much is unknown to our MC)
A long ass time ago, (exactly when isnt specified) there lived a man named Dr. Alan Braxton. Braxton is a well known "brain doctor". Performing surgery, providing psychological help, and promising to heal every ailment from homosexuality to mania. He was the proud owner of several Cure Camps all across America.
Around the same time as his wife became pregnant, the government made a very compelling discovery.
But because everything was so primitive compared to what we have now, no one was able to create anything new with these cells, but we did have the ability to alter life that already existed. Obviously humans were one of the first test subjects for these experimental years, and who better to test on than those already sick? Casualties and other infections could be blamed on exposure to other ill patients anyways!
So they called up Braxton, who now had a daughter named Miriam. Miriam was the doctors whole world. He loved her more than his studies; so when she became ill with childhood dementia (something extremely under documented at the time) he was completely devastated.
The Top Dogs offered Braxton a deal.
They would fund a basement expansion in every one of his Camps, and also fund research into the condition his daughter had, IF they could use the basements as playgrounds for their new biological toy.
Braxton, seeing no downside, signed the paper. And he spent the rest of his life dedicated to these alien stem cells and trying to find a cure for the evil that was taking Miriams mind away from her.
Fast forward to roughly a decade ago. America's global power is slipping, and the stress is kicking in. Deciding to force the hands of everyone, they decide to take Braxtons (very outdated, yet somehow still brilliant) studies to make this happen.
The flu is now deadly unless you have America's cure. Your crops are dying unless you use America's water. Your houses are rotting unless you protect them with America's coating.
Eventually, the world caught on. Seeing as they were unaffected by these strange occurrences aside from brutal weather. Record breaking tsunamis, longer droughts than ever before, tornadoes destroying millions of homes each year.
Seeing through this self-destructive illusion, the rest of the globe starts researching these "new" issues at speeds Braxton would fall into a coma even imagining.
Eventually they find the alien culprit, and they craft a brand new disease that spreads through the air; designed to erase angry recollections in order to get the nation to sort of Simmer Down.
Needless to say, things go very very wrong, and suddenly you go from forgetting an argument, to forgetting how to digest your lunch.
Eveline Claire is watching this play out, learning about several underground bunkers that were being built in order to try some damage control. Anthills as rhey were called, were supposed to be a quarantine for everyone who could still remember to show up once the tornado sirens went off.
Eveline must make the crucial decision to either take her demented grandmother with her to the Anthill in the hopes of finding a cure there; or leave her behind to die alone and possibly save the other residents from getting infected.
I know this is SUUUUPER long, but ive been working on this plot since 10th grade, so id hope its intricate by now!
Obviously any questions are welcome, and Id be happy to share excerpts as i write. There is no way of knowing when it'll be done (i have a feeling this might end uo being my life's work lol) but im judt having fun with the process :)
