What Remains

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. |

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.
