  • Summary

  • It started the day I found the note.


    It was unmistakably in my own handwriting, though not a flicker of recollection lit to life in my mind as I lifted it from the pages it had been used to mark. It was simple, short, sloppy even, very uncharacteristic of me; it read:


    Nox is real.


    You must save him.



    Staring at the wrinkled sheet in my hands, I flipped it over but was met with a blank.


    Nox?


    I knew the name, but he was simply a story my father used to tell. Setting the sheet down on my desk, my attention returned to the book in hand; though it was difficult to keep my mind from wandering. Nox... wasn't he a witch who had cursed a tree or something?


    I couldn't remember.


    A beat passed by, holding me hostage in the moment.


    Lobotomizing, those words tuned to acid in my skull.


    My book hit the floor.


    I couldn’t remember?

    File 2: He Who Knows The Story
    May 30 2020

    Nox, the name that invaded my mind today and wouldn't leave. It felt so faint, but so familiar, like I had never said it before but a million times simultaneously. Like an old friend I hadn't seen in a decade, the absence hadn't dulled the warmth those three letters summoned inside me. Apprehension stiffened the muscles in my thumb as I tried to press play on the remote, but why?


    Nox wasn't real.


    I knew that to be true.


    Because of course he wasn't real.


    The truth was a scary thing, something I wasn't too fond of. But curses and witches were definitely not included in the truth, so why did I hesitate?

    The truth was far worse than that.

    Magic isn't real.

    I forgot, how could I forget? I didn't even know what I didn't know but I knew that I needed to know.
