Excerpt of Ubiquitous Medical by Dale J. Moore

His earliest memory entails being led away from his parents. Memories and dreams are two of a kind, separated only by the truth of reality. Sometimes they are difficult to discern and together they love to play tricks on the old, the troubled, and the lonely. Memories can be distorted by personal perception, or just the time that has vanished since they first appeared. That earliest memory shows smiles and tears, joy and sadness, and the recollection of confusion over which sentiment he should feel. But he was young at the time and this memory has been replayed so many times that the clarity and resolution are fading. At times internally incoherent, and distorted with so many unfulfilled reunion dreams, the memory is blurred to where it now baffles his otherwise brilliant mind. If his childhood reminder did not still adorn his headboard, he'd quite possibly convince himself the memory was indeed a dream.
