It Feels Like Déjà Vu
I open my eyes and do the first thing I always do after running the gravitational field generator: remember my name. “My name is Jon, I’m a physicist,” I say. Nothing comes after that. Thoughts begin to form and rise, and just as quickly sink back down; I feel like I’m struggling to stay afloat in a river that’s slowly dragging me under, trapped in its constantly shifting currents. But I fight it. I know I have to fight it because… because that’s what I always do.
A scientist jumps across different versions of a New York City on the brink of disaster, trying to return home. Encountering familiar friends and ones he can’t remember, his sense of reality becomes increasingly tenuous. An exploration of Buddhist themes of non-permanence and attachment.
