What Remains
​of Edmond Fisk

DAY 26

Over two and a half months have passed since I found the painting. Almost two weeks—supposedly—since I got trapped here.
Today I was thinking of my sister when I realized I had forgotten her name! Was it Elinore? Evandra? Ellen? I remembered I wrote her name a few days ago so I turned back to day six and--

I had two sisters?

The realization hit me so hard my soul may well have died. Not only did I forget Edith’s name, but I completely forgot about Olivia. How long have I been in here? Only twenty-one days? That cannot be true. It must have been longer than that. How could I already forget one of my own two sisters? Is there anything else I have forgotten?

Now that I think, I am noticing that my mind is a patchwork quilt with holes quickly forming. I am losing my memories!

Because I only remembered Olivia after looking back in this journal, I shall attempt to record crucial information which I cannot afford to lose.

Name: Edmond Fisk
Mother: Catherine Fisk (Maiden name: Gra Gren unknown)
Sire: Marmaduke Fisk (deceased)
Sisters: Edith and Olivia Fisk
Date of entrapment: September???
Date of Birth: February 12th, …
Age: well, if I forgot the year…
Gender: um… mind is male, body is female
Place of Residence: an estate, according to Day 6’s entry
Marital Status: unknown
Children: unknown
Just about everything else: unknown

​Every fleeting memory tantalizes me as I try to wrestle them like greased piglets. They are right there, I can feel them, then they are gone. Perhaps the Chambre degrades my memory? Regardless, if I remember anything more, I will write it here.
