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.
