Australia’s Furious Fiction is at it again!

This month, the prompts were:

• Your story must take place at a beach.

• Your story must describe at least two smells, two sounds and two textures.

• Your story must include the words KISS, HABIT and SQUARE.

My story takes place on the misty modern-day Oregon coastline.

Emma helps Dan, her ex-husband, remember their life and relationship following a stroke.

The story is patterned after a real-life situation where a partner of mine’s former love had a stroke and lost many of the memories surrounding their relationship. It was a gut-wrenching experience for my partner to fill in the gaps and help their former love through recovery.

We’ll see how it goes! Fingers crossed!
