No one could explain why or how reality shifted that day. Scientists began to study the whole thing extensively, but the changes left no physical trace behind. People started talking about how the trees and grass used to have a purple tint to them, and I couldn’t tell if they were bullshitting me or not -- because I couldn’t remember if they did; I thought they had always been green.
Then I started to realize how many memories of my old self were missing. I remembered being a male professor instead of a female college student, but I couldn’t even recall the subject I used to teach, so I decided to start writing down what I could remember of who I once was.
The more I wrote down, the more the holes in my memory became apparent. I’d even go back a few days earlier to re-read things, and the memory I had described in the passage seemed like it happened to another person. We were all adjusting to the new reality, and it was terrifying.
