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. A science-fiction exploration of Buddhist themes of non-permanence and attachment.
